The scene Sunday evening outside the ICE facility in South Portland was significantly calmer than the day before.

Oregon and Portland want to keep a temporary restraining order in place, as the Trump administration pushes to send in troops.

The administration says rising arrests and unruly protests justify federal troops. Portland says frog costumes tell the real story.

Tuesday was another day of court watch as Portlanders wait to see whether a federal judge will clear the way for President Donald Trump to deploy National Guard troops to the city or allow temporary barriers preventing that troop deployment to remain in place.

The city’s anti-ICE actions and No Kings demonstration have commanded mass attention, but still are no match for the impunity of the MAGA deportation state.
