More than two North Portland blocks remained barricaded and occupied by activists Saturday morning, with few hints at progress.
The protesters fortified positions around the âRed House on Mississippiâ after Multnomah County sheriffâs deputies, with an assist from Portland police, arrived Tuesday to secure the home for the owner, a developer who bought it at auction in 2018.
Officers arrested half a dozen people at the house and found various weapons. Others were arrested in violent clashes that ensued with protesters shortly after the initial legal action.
The activists and the Black-Indigenous Kinney family that owned the house for more than 60 years claim the Kinneys were targeted by unjust predatory-lending practices, ultimately leading to foreclosure on the property.
