At the regular Council meeting this morning, during public comment, Tyler Fellini of @jwjpdx.bsky.social noted that the Mayor suggested that the 1/31 teargassing of Portlanders by the feds at the ICE Out Labor Rally was justified by the actions of a few. It was completely unjustified.

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.
Congressional Democrats need to understand that "Abolish ICE" is not a slogan, "not another penny" is literal, & anyone who votes for a 2-week $ extension, so you MIGHT get ICE wearing instead of holding the camera as they film themselves killing people, is getting played. (And maybe primaried.)

NEW: Portland Councilor Loretta Smith allegedly fired a staffer for union organizing. An unfair labor practice complaint, filed today, claims Smith showed increasingly hostile behavior to the worker following the union announcement, culminating in his termination last week.
The Mercury has obtained a series of images of group messages that show racist, sexist, and homophobic tropes used by a local developer and other local conservative political activists during a council president election. Readers may find this content offensive.
This sure looks a lot like the Mayor ousting an expert on long-term housing solutions to force internal administrative support for his camping ban (sweeps).
Grateful you're safe!
