#ICE #Portland #LessThanLethal #ACAB &quot;Federal appeals court grants unrestricted use of crowd control weapons at Portland ICE building The court’s ruling eliminates restrictions imposed by two federal judges in Oregon that strictly limited when federal officers could use tear gas on crowds outside the facility. In a win for the Trump administration, a federal appeals court ruled Monday that officers can use crowd control weapons outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Portland without restrictions. The decisions mark a setback for protesters, independent journalists and tenants of a nearby apartment complex who sued in separate lawsuits, arguing the use of tear gas and other chemical munitions by Department of Homeland Security officers violated their constitutional rights.&quot; https://www.opb.org/article/2026/04/27/federal-appeals-court-grants-crowd-control-weapons-ice-portland-building/
