People in Bend, Oregon, have for many hours today been blocking the exit of a US ICE bus with which agents are attempting to remove detained immigrants. I& #39;m assembling a Twitter list of people reporting from and/or about this: https://twitter.com/pmocek/lists/protest-20200812-bend">https://twitter.com/pmocek/li... /ht @PinchePoli
"An armed officer with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in a flack vest said he would not comment on the actions as he hid his badge." #bend #ice https://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-northwest-news/2020/08/ice-agents-detain-bend-men-as-angry-crowd-protests.html">https://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-n...
"City Councilor Gena Goodman Campbell confirmed she and Barb Campbell asked Bend police officers to pull back from the situation, after officers originally showed up in riot gear." https://www.opb.org/article/2020/08/12/bend-residents-halt-ice-arrests-with-impromptu-protest/">https://www.opb.org/article/2...
Oh, riot gear? What, why-- Oh, no, we didn& #39;t-- yeah, we just had that on already. I mean, training today. Riot training. Yeah, during the raid we knew about but were not involved with. Here in Bend, population 85,000, in rural central Oregon. https://twitter.com/emilycureton/status/1293735334648270848">https://twitter.com/emilycure...
This protest blocking an ICE kidnapping in Bend, Oregon, is ongoing. Trump& #39;s private army, donned in riot gear, moved in around 10:30pm Pacific. https://twitter.com/pmocek/lists/protest-20200812-bend">https://twitter.com/pmocek/li... https://twitter.com/GarrettGAndrews/status/1293789336123486209">https://twitter.com/GarrettGA...

Note:">https://twitter.com/emilycure... Bend is not Portland or Eugene. I believe their politics are *relatively* (for PNW) conservative. They& #39;re not known to be all that protest-y. It& #39;s known more as a winter-ski-and-summer-outdoorsy resort area.
