Remember in 2006 when crowds of mostly-Mexican undocumented migrant workers came out of the woodwork on May Day in an attempt to strike and march for their rights and the feds just quietly deported a bunch of them later in retaliation when people stopped paying attention? I sure didn't, until I was reminded that the "Day without an Immigrant" protests happened over 10 years later. The CBP crackdowns in Portland are a mere extension of this, just with the mask off.
