"Human Chain Forms as Protesters Blockade Portland Encampment Sweep"

TL;DR Summary
In Portland, protesters have blocked city workers and police from clearing a homeless encampment at Harbor View Memorial Park by linking arms and parking cars to obstruct access. This action follows a delay in the clearing operation due to poor weather, and with the resumption under clear skies, tensions have escalated. The presence of a large transport bus from the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office suggests that authorities are prepared for mass arrests.
