In a statement responding to Saturday protests, Mayor Keith Wilson pledged that Portland police will uphold the law in the city, but will “not be used as agents of ICE.”

“Portland has not requested and does not require the intervention of the National Guard,” Wilson said in the statement. He noted that National Guard members and U.S. Marines deployed to Los Angeles under the order of helping ICE and protest management have only inflamed tensions in that city.

Portland Mayor Keith Wilson released a statement Sunday addressing ICE protests following the No Kings demonstration in the city.

Police officers in major cities suffered injuries at the hands of violent agitators over the weekend, with several rioters throwing fireworks and other objects at the officers

This is a developing story that will be updated. “No Kings” protests are happening across Oregon and the rest of the country Saturday to protest the Trump administration on the president’s 79th birthday.

Trump sent federal officers into Portland to quell riots five years ago. A tired city — watching events in LA — hopes it won’t happen again.
