Portland demonstrators say ‘Not My President’
PORTLAND (AP) — A small
but unruly group of “Not My Presi-
dents Day” protesters faced off with
police in downtown Portland.
The
Oregonian/OregonLive
reports that the police confronted
the crowd in front of the Edith
Green-Wendell Wyatt Federal
Building on Monday. Police took
some people into custody.
The crowd of several dozen,
some wearing masks, were gath-
ering for a “Not My Presidents Day”
rally in protest of Donald Trump.
Police lined up facing the
protesters on Southwest Third
Avenue. The incident partially
blocked the road.
At noon, a larger crowd gathered
at Director Park under the canopy in
the rain.
After listening to speeches, some
started marching. Portland police
say the march had permits from the
city.
Thousands of demonstrators
turned out across the U.S. to chal-
lenge the new president, though the
events on the federal holiday didn’t
draw nearly as many people as
the million-plus who thronged the
streets following the inauguration a
month earlier.
Thousands of flag-waving
protesters lined up outside Central
Park in Manhattan. Many in the
crowd chanted “No ban, no wall.
The Trump regime has got to
fall.” They held aloft signs saying
“Uphold the Constitution Now” and
“Impeach the Liar.”
A rally in downtown Los Angeles
also drew thousands. Demonstrators
there called attention to Trump’s
crackdown on immigration and
his party’s response to climate
change and the environment.
Organizers said they chose to rally
on the holiday as a way to honor
past presidents by exercising their
constitutional right to assemble and
peacefully protest.
Hundreds march at
Oregon State Capitol
for immigration
SALEM (AP) — On the
heels of nationwide protests,
hundreds of people gathered at the
Oregon State Capitol in support
of immigration and immigration
rights.
The Statesman Journal
reports that Sunday’s forecast of
downpours didn’t deter the crowd.
Event organizers estimated more
than 1,000 people attended.
Winds whipped the signs of
protesters crowded on the Capitol
Mall as Yesica Navarro spoke
about growing up as an immigrant.
Her family came to the U.S.
when she was a child, looking
for a better life. Learning a new
culture and language was difficult
for many others like her.
Navarro told the crowd that
against all odds, they persisted.
She says they love this country
and want to be accepted.
The event, part of the
Immigrants’ March Presidents
Day 2017, was a grassroots
efforts.

A person is detained during a protest Monday in Portland. Thousands of demonstrators turned out
Monday across the U.S. to challenge President Donald Trump in a Presidents Day protest dubbed
Not My President’s Day.
America great.”
Dozens
marched
through
midtown Atlanta for a rally named
with a Georgia flavor: “ImPEACH
NOW! (Not My) President’s Day
March.”
Hundreds of protesters chanting
“This is what democracy looks like”
marched through Salt Lake City.
The Salt Lake Tribune reports
that the crowd marched to push
back against Trump and his admin-
istration’s stance on such issues as
the environment, immigration, free
speech and Russia.
Some people raised signs that
said “Not My President,” while
others held up a large American flag.
Protester Reg Brookings warned the
crowd that Trump is trying to divide
In Chicago, several hundred
rallied across the river from the
Trump Tower, shouting “Hey, hey,
ho, ho, Donald Trump has got to
go.”
Rebecca Wolfram of Chicago,
who’s in her 60s, said concerns
about climate change and immi-
grant rights under Trump prompted
her to start attending rallies.
“I’m trying to demonstrate as
much as possible until I figure out
what else to do,” said Wolfram,
who held a sign that said “Old white
ladies are really displeased.”
Several hundred demonstrated in
Washington, D.C. Dozens gathered
around the fountain in Dupont
Circle chanting “Dump Trump” and
“Love, not hate: That’s what makes
the country by making such groups
as immigrants the enemy.
Hundreds of Trump opponents
and supporters turned out in Rapid
City, South Dakota.
A larger anti-Trump faction
stood on a street corner as part of a
“Not My President” protest, similar
to other demonstrations being
held across the country. A group
supporting the president lined up
on a different corner at the same
intersection.
Walker reported from New York
City. Associated Press writers Jeff
Martin in Atlanta, Tammy Webber
in Chicago, Alanna Durkin Richer
in Richmond and Martha Bellisle in
Seattle, Washington, contributed to
this story.
Oregon wants to host
Outdoor Retailer show
SALEM (AP) — Oregon
tourism officials are courting a
trade show for outdoor retailers
that left Utah after the state’s
stance on public lands sparked
some brands to boycott the
biannual event.
The Statesman Journal reports
Outdoor Retailer organizers made
the decision after Utah Gov. Gary
Herbert refused to rescind his call
for the reversal of a new national
monument designation.
Patagonia CEO Rose Marcario
said the industry is all about
defending public lands and cannot
stand by this decision.
The shows attracted almost
45,000 people to Salt Lake City
last year.
These visitors spent an
estimated $45 million annually in
the state.
Linea Gagliano of Travel
Oregon says Portland would make
the perfect location for the event.
News reports say Montana
and Colorado officials are also
interested in hosting the show.
Second Malheur refuge occupation trial begins Tuesday
By AMANDA PEACHER
Oregon Public Broadcasting
Opening arguments for the
second trial of four occupiers of
the Malheur National Wildlife
Refuge begins Tuesday at the
federal courthouse in Portland.
Many Harney County resi-
dents were disappointed by the
“not guilty” jury verdict in the
first trial of Ammon and Ryan
Bundy and five other occupiers.
This second trial features four
lesser-known defendants, and
some people in Harney County
hope the jury sees the case differ-
officers by force, threat or intim-
idation. Their five co-defendants
were all found not guilty as well.
Now,
defendants
Duane
Ehmer, Jake Ryan, Darryl Thorn
and Jason Patrick face that same
federal felony charge. They
also face several misdemeanor
charges, like trespassing. Federal
prosecutors added those charges
after the not guilty verdict in the
first trial came down last fall.
This second set of defendants
includes lesser-known occupiers
who decided to waive their right
to a speedy trial, and thus opted
for a delayed trial date. The trial
ently this time.
“We just want peace back in
our community, I think,” said
Candy Tiller, a retired Bureau
of Land Management employee
who lives in Burns. “People are
trying to get beyond this. The
second trial, I guess maybe for
myself, it’s like, yeah well is it
going to be a repeat of the first
one?”
In the first trial of the occupiers
last fall, a 12-person jury found
occupation leaders Ammon and
Ryan Bundy not guilty of the
government’s primary charge:
conspiracy to impede federal

total of seven defendants, but
three of those seven accepted a
plea deal from the government.
For Harney County, Tiller says
that every time the occupiers are
in the news, it’s a reminder of the
trauma the occupation caused her
community. The 41-day occupa-
tion disrupted the community in
ways that may take years to heal.
“The community is actually
trying to come back together,”
said Tiller. “And then [the occu-
pation] keeps roaring up and
slapping us in the face again and
again.”
