Thousands of demonstrators who marched to the ICE building were met with pepper balls and tear gas within minutes of their arrival.

The first-hand accounts Ive been reading describe it as a massive unprovoked attack on a crowd full of kids and no real way to escape.

    Thousands of protesters marched through South Portland and enveloped the blocks around the Immigration and Customs Enforcement building Saturday, a demonstration that escalated within minutes of their arrival. Demonstrators were met with large clouds of tear gas, pepper balls and rubber bullets moments after some in the crowd crossed the building’s property line and approached its security gate. Federal agents also set off flash-bang grenades.
