There’s a new report out in the Oregonian that Abolish ICE protesters “spewed racists insults at nonwhite officers” guarding the Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in Portland, Oregon:
NEW: Emails I obtained show federal agents policing the #OccupyICEPDX protest say demonstrators spewed racist insults at nonwhite officers: https://t.co/sBX67X83X3

From the report:
Email records obtained by The Oregonian/OregonLive detail some of the insults and taunting that several nonwhite federal officers say they endured. The newsroom is not publishing officers’ names by request of the Federal Protective Services, which cited safety concerns if identities are revealed. The agency did not respond to a request for comment.
But it’s not just emails that document this abuse.
Reporter Andy Ngo, who is covering the protest in Portland, confirms the account, saying “This is something I witnessed”:
This is something I witnessed. Non-white federal officers on duty to protect the Portland ICE office say they've been subject to racist & sexist verbal abuse from the "abolish ICE" protesters. https://t.co/Rc7ahLEwEm

More from Ngo on the protest, which oddly is pretty adamant about securing its borders:
I just got back from the “abolish ICE” Portland camp. It’s become a sprawling parallel fortress society. The smell is memorable. Many rules (eg photography not allowed inside). pic.twitter.com/u1doewRaaZ

A bit of panic ensues when Portland Police finally go inside camp to post statements that space will be cleared. I followed them. pic.twitter.com/4EqNnljXHs

And they’ve built a wall (where have we heard that before?):
Sometime soon, the City of Portland will likely start clearing the anti-ICE/anti-borders camp (notices already posted more than 24 hours ago). In response, the camp has walled themselves off completely. They even have "wall guards" keeping watch. From the last hour: pic.twitter.com/sDSm45Xnkh

What a fine bunch of people they got there:
Micah Rhodes, a Portland SJ activist arrested again for violating probation. Rhodes was convicted this year for sex crimes w/minors. I saw him last month at "abolish ICE" camp, where many minors & children are present. Don't know if incidents connected. https://t.co/gAgnYG9z23
