I am, of course referring to Seth :Toad" Todd, better known as the Portland Frog, recipient of Wilammette Week's Portlander of the year.
Todd was at another protest following the shootings of 2 people in Portland and arrested.
Police arrested six people during protests outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in South Portland on Thursday night, officials said.
………
Protesters gathered after news spread of a Border Patrol shooting Thursday afternoon that wounded two people in Southeast Portland. Hundreds of people went to the site of the shooting, blocking streets. Another crowd came together outside the ICE building, yelling “Shame” and hurling insults at the building’s occupants.
Ezekiel Mclain, 28, of Portland, and Benjamin J. Davis, 24, also of Portland, were booked on charges of riot, disorderly conduct in the second degree and interfering with a peace officer, police said. Ashley Daugherty, 48, and Seth Todd, 24, of Clackamas, face charges of second-degree disorderly conduct and interfering with a peace officer. Jordan Brokaw, 28, of Portland, was charged with second-degree disorderly conduct.
………
But the night’s relatively high-profile arrest was Todd. Last year, Todd began showing up outside the ICE building in an inflatable frog costume and quickly became known as the “Portland Freedom Frog.” When he was pepper-sprayed by federal agents on Oct. 2, he told The Oregonian/OregonLive it was no big deal.
It was a big deal
