The dayslong autonomous zone reportedly reached an agreement with the city of Portland following an apology from the mayor and street barricades are being removed.
The armed encampment, dubbed “Red House on Mississippi,” has persisted for the last week and has erected roadblocks around the family home of the Kinneys, who are black and Indigenous, after they faced foreclosure from local authorities, according to Fox News.
The group gained national attention after it clashed with police following a dozen arrests and drove law enforcement away from the home, Fox reported.
