Authorities declared a riot early Sunday in Portland, Ore., where protesters breached a fence surrounding the city's federal courthouse building where U.S. agents have been stationed. Crowds began to march toward the city's federal courthouse around 9:15 p.m., some marching from eight kilometres away. They paused outside a downtown hotel, where federal agents are staying, chanting "Feds go home" and yelling the names of Black people killed by police. The fence surrounding the building had flowers and banners draped across as federal agents emerged from the courthouse to inspect it. Here, a protester stands in front of the Mark O. Hatfield federal courthouse in downtown Portland on Saturday.
