Police release identities of those arrested during Portland State University protests
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – The days-long occupation of the library at Portland State University may be over, but the repercussions have just begun for those involved in Thursday’s events.
On Friday, Portland police released the identities of those arrested in the double occupation that led to a day-long standoff between law enforcement and protesters calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.
The first occupation lasted for more than 48 hours before police in riot gear entered the building, causing protesters to flee the area and form a large gathering in other parts of downtown Portland.
Hours later, protesters re-entered the library and barricaded themselves inside using fencing that police had set up to block occupiers earlier in the day. Before clearing out the occupiers a second time, police announced that anyone who had breached the fencing would face second-degree trespassing charges.
By the end of the day, police reported they had arrested 30 people, of which only seven were self-declared students.
Authorities are still searching for at least 18 other protesters who fled the library during its initial occupation Thursday morning as well as its second occupation that night.
