The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in Portland was vandalized and set on fire late Saturday night. Videos show federal agents reacting by firing crowd control munitions at the crowd of black bloc rioters in Oregon's most populated city.
Shortly before midnight, nearly 100 black bloc demonstrators gathered at the ICE building in Portland for a planned protest, according to independent journalist Grace Morgan.

The ICE building was vandalized with graffiti, including "DHS murders." Agitators barricaded the front door of the building with a chain-link fence.
Someone put a traffic cone on the security camera to prevent the rioters from being identified. Fireworks were launched at the ICE building. -- excerpt, rest at link above --
