Is your business ICE-free? Let people know. We have created free, printable signs for display to tell officers on official business that they do not have permission to enter without a judicial warrant.

This is a safe space. Judicial warrants required for entry for ICE/CBP officials on official business. No ICE or Border Patrol allowed! We have the right to refuse service or entry. We have the right to remain silent. We have the right to record your activities from a safe distance, without interference. Oregon Justice Resource Center.

🧵The Ninth Circuit has cleared the way for federalization of the Oregon National Guard. The court has said troops can be deployed on Portland's streets while we wait for a final outcome in this case.
A graphic interpretation of the skyline of the city of Portland. In black text, it says “no military in Portland”. The L in military and the R in Portland are stacked on top of each other and create a image of a rifle. The barrel of the rifle is tied in a knot and there is a rose inserted inside.
