on the streets, but it has been quite a situation here in portland. portland taking a central role in this immigration fight. we saw beginning on june 17th a tent city form around the i.c.e. headquarters in portland. at times it got tense. we did see on thursday some federal police officers forcibly arrest some people in front of the i.c.e. headquarters, but adjacent to the building you have something of a tent city and they are in it for the long haul. ana, we have seen a first aid tent there, there is a food pantry, even a mental health tent. so the people who have set up shop there, about 100 or so people, say they are not leaving until they see the abolition of i.c.e. i want to introduce you to somebody who came to this protest at this part, this is cassie who is here with her family, her daughter and her husband. what compelled you to come to this rally today? the inhumanity of the practice of what s going on with

obviously here, he won in the supreme court, but only after other courts, lower courts pushed back against him. the press has been a check on donald trump. colleges and universities, religious institutions, which have been very active in the immigration fight, they too have played a part in responding to donald trump s president sis. so yes, the presidency is very important in this country, but it doesn t control everything, and the story of the 2r58 ban, the full story. not just today s opinion, i think illustrates the resilience of our institutions. an important decision today by the united states supreme court, a decision that will be studied, and we have just got the actual text, john king. if you see it, go ahead and read this whole document. let us know how it work out. old skewed, bachool, baby. our special coverage throughouted day, an important
