Nude Cyclists Protest Against Federal Troops and ICE in Portland
In a striking demonstration of dissent, hundreds of nude cyclists took to the streets of Portland for an emergency Naked Bike Ride, protesting against the deployment of National Guard troops and the activities of ICE. The event drew attention amidst a week of rallies for and against immigration enforcement and military presence in the city. Participants braved the rain to express their political stance, with slogans and humor adding to the spectacle. This protest highlights the increasingly creative methods Portlanders are using to voice their opposition to federal actions, framing the naked ride as a quintessentially Portland response to national issues.
