Demonstrators established an autonomous zone outside what they believe is Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler's apartment Thursday morning, but Portland police officers moved in quickly and tore down the barrier.
Portland police declared the gathering a civil disturbance at around 5:30 a.m. Officers entered the area soon after to take down tents and remove the blockade.
The group is using dumpsters, pallets and boards to block the zone. It's on Northwest Glisan Street between Northwest 9th Avenue and Northwest 10th Avenue.
Demonstrators said Wednesday night that they want $50 million cut from the Portland Police Bureau's budget.
