Portland protesters gather peacefully Thursday as federal officers depart

President Trump sent federal officers to Oregon to quell protests. It had little effect.
Thursday marked yet another turning point in the more than two months of protests for racial justice in Portland: It was the first night in more than three weeks that federal officers were not present.

“The whitest city in America has made the biggest move on Black lives!” said Seneca Cayson, leading to cheers from the crowd of more than 1,000 people who gathered outside the Multnomah County Justice Center.
