Six protesters arrested in Portland after two people shot by border patrol agents

Local leaders' appeal for non-violence largely holds despite growing outrage over US immigration enforcement in city

Six protesters were arrested by police in Portland, Oregon, late on Thursday, as an appeal for calm from local leaders largely held despite growing outrage over federal immigration enforcement in the city after two people were shot by US border patrol agents.

On Friday afternoon, dozens of protesters gathered again outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Portland, holding signs that denounced ICE agents as thugs" and Nazis".
