The rally was called 'J20', where anti-government protesters held signs saying 'We Don't Want Biden' and 'We Want Revenge' and protested against police brutality, the separation of immigrant families and calling for the abolishment of ICE.

Demonstrators have taken to the streets in Seattle, Washington and Boston, Massachusetts however the biggest protest appeared to occur in Portland, Oregon.

200 left-wing protesters are on the streets in Portland right now, with anti-Biden and anti-police messages.

The protesters were later met by a large group of police officers, who arrested eight people in connection to the demonstration.

After a brief period of calm in Portland, protesters took to the streets again when night fell.

Portland Police said in a statement that they and federal authorities were forced to disperse a group of around 150 protesters when they began to graffiti the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) offices just after 9pm.

Within a few minutes of arriving people began applying graffiti to the ICE building,” police said.

“Portland Police circulated through the neighbourhood during the next hour to find specific people in the crowd for whom there was probable cause to arrest and made arrests as they identified and located suspects.

A handful of antifa protesters were arrested in the Washington city, however police kept a distance to ensure things stayed peaceful.
