A chaotic scene broke out late in Portland outside the ICE facility when a heated exchange between protesters and counter-protesters suddenly turned physical.
Witnesses say the confrontation started after someone’s phone was snatched during the argument. Moments later, a slap is thrown, and the situation quickly escalates into a full-on scuffle in the middle of the street.
Several people nearby can be seen trying to separate the groups as tensions rise and the shouting intensifies. Bystanders caught the entire moment on video, which is now circulating online and drawing thousands of views.
Authorities haven’t confirmed whether anyone was arrested, but the footage has sparked renewed debate about how demonstrations near government facilities continue to spiral out of control.
