Protesters in Portland clashed with federal agents over National Guard deployment at an ICE facility, leading to arrests.

On October 4, 2025, hundreds of protesters in Portland, Oregon, demonstrated against the deployment of National Guard troops to protect the city’s ICE facility, organized by Portland Contra Las Deportaciones. The rally began at Elizabeth Caruthers Park and marched to the facility at 4310 S Macadam Ave., where federal agents used tear gas and pepper balls to disperse the crowd, resulting in at least six to seven arrests. The protest followed a city-issued land use violation and came amid a federal judge’s pending decision on a temporary restraining order to halt the deployment.
