A US Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility burned during a Saturday night protest in Portland, Ore., that ended with federal agents shooting pepper balls to disperse rioters, according to reports.
The run-in marked another evening of chaos in the City of Roses, where sometimes-violent protests have raged nearly nightly for almost a year.
“The Portland ICE facility is currently on fire,” wrote independent journalist Grace Morgan in a tweet accompanied by a 7-second video clip of the small blaze.
In the clip, flames lap at a large sheet of wood on the building’s exterior marked with graffiti messages such as, “Reunite!” and “F–k ICE.”
Clips posted by Morgan and other freelance journalists on Twitter do not show exactly how the fire started, but previous tweets show rioters starting a small blaze in a facility driveway a few feet away.
“First ANTIFA fire of the night has already kicked off, so far people are just warming their hands on this cold night,” Morgan captioned a still photo of about a half-dozen people gathered around a small blaze, some reaching their hands close to it.
