More than 100 people have gathered in front of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility a few blocks south of downtown Portland, Oregon. Among them is Jack Dickinson, commonly known as “the Portland chicken” and the lead plaintiff in a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security over excessive force against protesters. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals this week paused a lower court’s rulings limiting federal agents’ use of tear gas, pepper balls and other crowd control weapons against protesters at the facility.

"Following weeks of uncertainty as to whether the state would allow another large No Kings rally on the Montana Capitol steps, more than 1,000 people stood on the lawn as they protested what they said is creeping authoritarianism in the United States."
From Robin Linares: Cameron and Annmarie Jones were registered Republicans until 2015. Now, they’re registered as an independent and Democrat, respectively, and have been to more than 10 protests since Trump’s return to office, including Saturday’s No Kings event in Salem, Oregon.
“In 2015, my party elected Donald Trump in their primary as the Republican candidate, and I said, ’There’s no way I can be in a party that would bring that clown as their representative,’” Cameron Jones said. “I think we need to do everything as citizens to lawfully resist all the horrible things he’s doing.”
