Text reads: In a federal legal filing, lawyers say U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested a woman from Mexico outside her asylum hearing Monday morning in downtown Portland. The lawyers say the woman, who is transgender, was seeking asylum in the U.S. several years after being abducted and raped by members of the Knights Templar drug cartel in Michoacán state. She was living in Vancouver, Wash., at the time of her arrest. The alleged arrest would represent the first documented incident of ICE agents appearing at an Immigration Court hearing in Portland.

Screencap from a Willamette Week email says: “From the Archives—Portland’s penchant for protesting Republican presidents long predates Donald Trump. For example: Vice President Dan Quayle came to Portland for a $2,500-per-person Republican fundraiser at the downtown Hilton in September 1990. Some 300 protesters gathered outside. Flags were burned. A man took a shit on a photo of Quayle. Suit-wearing Reed students swallowed colored food dye and vomited red, white and, unintentionally, green. Read more.”
