"Failure to comply with this order may subject you to citation or arrest, and may subject you to the use of tear gas, crowd control agents, and impact munitions," police said.
Around 10 p.m. a group of roughly 200 people marched from Elizabeth Caruthers Park to the Portland ICE building. Some protesters spray-painted messages like “Day 91, we won’t quit," on the facility, according to The Oregonian.

Around 11 p.m., Portland police would label the gathering unlawful and order people to leave.
