    Protests resumed over the weekend in the Oregon city

    Protests resumed on Friday, when demonstrators marched to a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building and were confronted by federal law enforcement officers before moving on to a nearby neighborhood.

    Protesters allegedly threw objects at Portland Police Bureau officers, who arrested 11 people before the end of the night, according to a police summary of events.

    However, protests resumed over the weekend and one local civil rights leader said demonstrations were not going to stop because of the fires.

    "Fire's not going to smoke us out," Rev. E.D. Mondaine, president of Portland’s chapter of the NAACP, told KATU 2 during an interview that aired Sunday.

    I think Portland is a lost cause -- the city will never recover, but will become the West Coast version of Detroit.
