Portland police said officers made a targeted arrest on Friday night near Gray's Landing in South Portland after observing alleged criminal activity.
Hundreds of protesters marched from Elizabeth Caruthers Park to the facility, where DHS ordered them off federal property and riot-equipped officers formed a line at the gate.
The demonstration came days after an appeals court ruled federal officers could use tear gas and chemical munitions outside the site, worrying nearby residents who say gas has entered their homes.
Are there effective ways for residents to protect themselves from both chemical exposure and digital surveillance during future protests near their homes?
How will the expanded use of tear gas and surveillance technology by federal agents affect the health, privacy, and daily lives of Portland residents?
