PORTLAND, Ore. -- More than a thousand people showed up in downtown Portland early Saturday to peacefully protest, about three days after the announcement that the presence of U.S. agents there would be reduced.
In a news release early Saturday, the Portland Police Bureau described the crowd as subdued and said there was no police interaction with protesters.
The change in tone outside a federal courthouse that’s become ground zero in clashes between demonstrators and federal agents came after the U.S. government began drawing down its forces under a deal between Democratic Gov. Kate Brown and the Trump administration.
