Who had “dance rave in front of an ICE building” on their 2025 bingo card? After one protester in Portland, Oregon, showed up to a protest in an inflatable frog costume, a new national trend was born. This trend is quickly spreading to other parts of America. This is peak Portland, and I’ve got my popcorn to watch all the protest-y shenanigans.
Portland’s Dancing Protesters vs ICE
Protests have been happening at the ICE building in Portland in the last few weeks, and because Portland is ‘weird’, the protests quickly turned into dance parties.
The protest dance party video that first captured my eye was the one of people doing the Cha Cha Slide in front of ICE guards at Portland’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement building (4310 S Macadam Ave). I wasn’t expecting to see something like this happening. It made me spit out my drink!
