U.S. Portland protesters portrayed as “frogs and dinosaurs” to protest the Trump administration sending troops to the local area

[Global Network Reporter Jiang Yiling] According to foreign media reports such as CNBC on the 11th local time, similar scenes have been staged outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) building in Portland, Oregon, USA for several weeks: protesters wear inflatable costumes of frogs, dinosaurs, raccoons, unicorns, capybara and other styles, and protest against the Trump administration's large-scale expulsion of illegal immigrants and sending the National Guard to Portland in seemingly "absurd" ways such as dancing.

Reported that protesters said dancing in inflatable costumes was not only to show the joyful atmosphere of the community, but also to refute the Trump administration's description of Portland as a crime-ridden "war zone." Protesters also said that such clothing can somewhat mitigate the physiological effects of irritants such as tear gas fired by ICE law enforcement officers. The report mentioned that at the protest site on the evening of Thursday (9th), the residual smell of tear gas was filled outside the ICE building, and people in the crowd continued to clear their throats and rub their eyes.

“The way in which they pursue us seems even more ridiculous,” said one of the protesters.The New York Times that the ways in which the residents of Portland have protested have been different for a long time: outside the ICE building, protesters against the Trump administration’s immigration policy also blow bubbles to law enforcers, organize flash dances, and even have people tied desserts on the sticks, “tricking” federal officials with pastries.

Earlier, on October 6 local time, U.S. President Trump in an interview with U.S. media Newsmax said that the current "rebellion" in the U.S. city of Portland, Oregon, the local crime rate has risen, his attempt to deploy the National Guard in the city.

Trump announced on September 27 that he would send troops to the Democrat-run city of Portland to deal with "domestic terrorists." Earlier this year, Trump sent troops to Los Angeles and Washington. Trump's successive dispatch of National Guard troops to Democrat-governed states and cities has been strongly criticized by the Democratic Party, saying it has political purposes and is to attack areas governed by the Democratic Party.
