this is what i was referring to (in response to it being pointed out that I was referencing the PRE-game presser):

I was careful not to accidentally capture anyone's face, but it's worth underscoring that this is ONE BLOCK amongst a not-particularly-small city

the opposite side of the street, I count 5 people but there's maybe a dozen behind me and to my right

I did go to the ICE facility. It's in this weirdly-zoned area next to the highway that isn't especially easy to get to if you're not from here, and it encompasses a single block. When I was there yesterday afternoon, there were maybe 2-3 dozen protestors.
picture of that ICE facility. It's boarded up, you can see maybe 15 people, the guy in the chicken outfit is probably taking a lunch break or something

call me crazy, but if a journalist was really trying to solve the riddle of whether Portland is a war-torn hell-hole, they might get off their ass and ask one of these people:

This is the Portlandia statue. It's hard to do justice to how large that thing is

The "Portlandia" statue, which if I'm describing it to someone who is sight-impaired is a 40-foot tall metal depiction of a non-binary person holding a trident, perching above the entrance of the Portland Building like a gigantic-ass gargoyle.
