Crews return barriers around federal courthouse in Portland
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) Crews have set up fencing around a federal courthouse in downtown Portland on Sunday just days after removing the barriers following multiple protests and vandalism on and around the building, authorities said.
Federal officials told Oregon Public Broadcasting that the fencing was removed from the Hatfield Federal Courthouse on March 8 as a symbolic gesture to return the city to normalcy, KOIN-TV reported Monday.
However, the building was vandalized during demonstrations after the fencing was taken down last week.
During summer protests over racial injustice when the fencing was originally put in place, then-Commissioner Chloe Eudaly said the fences blocked a throughway and instituted daily fines until they were removed.
