Where is this Grays Landing place in Portland? They don't seem to like the protests. Granted, luckily the ICE building doesn't seem to be near at lot of things in Portland, other than the poor folks who live in that complex.

"It's like a war zone," Ms Hammar, 57, says about her street. Several other residents spoke to BBC News about the unrest, which is centred on just one city block, as tensions have boiled..
Impossible. The left, parroted by 88 and Kalm, have insisted the protests are all peaceful.
BDK, grasping at straws.
- Portland protests are more peaceful than January 6.
- who is using the tear gas and the munitions? The protesters? Or ICE?
- a war zone is generally larger than a city block. From the article - "the unrest, which is centred on just one city block"
- protests have gotten worse since trump's announcement. As usual, he has exacerbated a problem rather than resolving it.
Fellow dog owner Mai Tai Boyd, 44, tells Ms Colgrove that he disagrees that their building has been "abandoned" by local city officials.
"I keep up with the politics. So I feel a little different," says Mr Boyd, who has lived in the building for 13 years.
The US Air Force veteran says Trump's plan to send in the troops is a blatant violation of the US constitution.
"I don't understand why law enforcement can't handle it. Like why do you need to send the troops - combat trained and ready?"
In other parts of the famously liberal "Rose City", life goes on as normal. On Sunday, over 12,000 people participated in the Portland Marathon, jogging past the ICE facility without incident.
