Federal Judge Limits Use of Tear Gas and Crowd Control Munitions Against Anti-ICE Protesters in Portland

A federal judge has imposed restrictions on the use of tear gas and other crowd control munitions by federal agents at protests outside the ICE facility in Portland. This follows multiple incidents where protesters, including children, have been subjected to tear gas during demonstrations. The mayor of Portland has called for ICE to leave the city after federal agents gassed peaceful protesters. Residents near the facility are filing lawsuits, citing health concerns from the use of chemical munitions. In response to the escalating tensions, Portland councilors are seeking testimonies and broader discussions around federal enforcement tactics amidst mounting protests against ICE operations.
