The city of Portland, which leans politically progressive, is looking into legal ways to force Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) out of its building in the South Waterfront area. This location has become a center of violent clashes between federal agents and citizens.
The city’s efforts follow claims that ICE has broken the rules of its property permit, as well as ongoing worries from residents and officials about how federal agents have handled protests. According to Fox, Portland city council members held a crowded meeting where they talked about canceling ICE’s permit for its facility on South Moody Avenue, which was approved in 2011.
