Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler joined a chorus of officials earlier this week in condemning recent “anarchist” violence in the city’s downtown area and demanded an end to protests and violence that have rocked the city since May of last year.
Notably, the admission and demands follow an uptick of violence centered around a federal courthouse and nearby Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center — some of the same buildings targeted last summer when Wheeler and others expressed solidarity with protesters marching downtown.
