The demonstrations come on the heels of protests that flared up across the country over federal immigration enforcement raids that began last week, as well as Trump ordering the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles, where protesters blocked a freeway and set cars on fire.
Event organizers previously planned a “Hands Off!” event on April 5 that saw a crowd of at least 12,000 people in downtown Portland.
