The Portland Police Bureau (PPB) has responded to the nightly demonstrations, the department said in a press release.
Most of the demonstrations are centralized around the Justice Center and other federal buildings in downtown Portland, according to information from PPB.
In addition, PPB reports responses to demonstrations at the Penumbra Kelly Building, North Precinct, Portland Police Association, East Precinct, Multnomah County Building (SE Hawthorne) and the ICE Building (South Portland).
In the release, the department also explained how they classify the various disorders.
“A civil disturbance is an unlawful assembly that presents a clear and present danger of rioting, harassment, interference with traffic on public streets or when another direct threat to public safety, peace or order appears,” the release said.
“A riot is when six or more persons engage in tumultuous and violent behavior and thereby intentionally or recklessly pose a serious risk of public alarm, excluding persons engaged in passive resistance,” the release continued.
The Trump administration later reached an agreement with the Democratic governor of Oregon to withdraw federal officers from downtown Portland, although the Homeland Security Department said it had a presence in the city until it thought federal locations in ‘ the city was safe.
“Lessons learned are better at communicating exactly who we are targeting. We are not focusing on peaceful Protestants, individuals exercising their First Amendment rights,” he told Axis on HBO in an interview aired Monday night.
Tensions grew last month after federal officers entered the city.
“I do not subscribe to the fact that we created the violence there in Portland,” Wolf said.
