In a development that has garnered national attention,
residents of Portland, Oregon, have begun taking to the streets to publicly
express their support for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). These
expressions of support come amid a climate of intense polarization surrounding
immigration policies and the role of federal agencies responsible for enforcing
them.
For years, Portland has been known as a city where protests
against the actions of ICE and other federal agencies are prevalent. However,
in recent days, groups of residents have organized rallies and public events to
demonstrate their support for the agency, arguing that law enforcement is necessary
to maintain order and security.
The pro-ICE demonstrations reflect a shift in the city's
social climate, or at least a greater visibility of sectors that were
previously silent. At the same time, these expressions have also reignited the
debate between those who believe the agency plays an indispensable role and
those who accuse it of abusive practices against immigrant communities.
This new scenario confirms that immigration remains one of
the most sensitive and divisive issues in American politics and society, even
in cities traditionally associated with critical stances toward the federal
government. It is clear that citizens feel respected when President Trump's
campaign promises are put into action.
