Portland, Oregon, Mayor Ted Wheeler sent the city’s police force to evict a new “autonomous zone” that cropped up around an anti-eviction protest on Tuesday, reversing a months-long policy of tolerating ongoing demonstrations, even when they turn violent.
“Protesters have been camping out for months to prevent the eviction of the Kinney family but on Tuesday morning, tensions escalated and protesters used fences and barricades set up by law enforcement officials to surround the home, which has been named the “Red House on Mississippi” due to its location on Mississippi Ave. in North Portland,” Newsweek reported Tuesday.
