Another riot was declared Thursday in South Portland outside of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) building. Unrest in Portland, Oregon has been steady throughout the past few months, with at least 13 riots being declared over the past 80 days.

Independent journalist Brendan Gutenschwager recorded footage of a “public disturbance” march in Portland ahead of the evening’s riot, he tweeted. The protesters could be seen marching through the streets and screaming “ya’ll never gonna sleep cuz of me, I ain’t gonna sleep cuz of ya’ll.”

“Wake up! Wake up! Wake up, motherfucker, wake up!” those marching also yelled as one person driving laid on a horn.
