On Sunday, police in Portland, Oregon arrested 14 individuals on a variety of charges related to counter protests at a pro-Trump rally.

Most of the arrestees are believed to be counter protesters and possibly affiliated with AntiFa, a group known for its violence which has gained some notoriety since the election of President Trump.

A pro-Donald Trump, free speech rally was organized by the conservative group Patriot Prayer that was met with groups of anti-Trump and anti-hate protesters.

Officials shut down at least one counter-protest at a public square in Chapman Square, because they say demonstrators were hurling bricks and other objects at officers. [Emphasis added.]

Weapons seized include, knives, baseball bats, clubs, as well as at least one chain and bricks.

The charges against the individuals—some with prior arrest records (see below)—range from carrying a concealed weapon to disorderly conduct.
