Federal officers again tear-gas protesters in Portland, Oregon

Protesters outside the federal courthouse in Portland, Oregon were targeted with tear gas by federal officers for the second night in a row Sunday, reports the CBS affiliate there, KOIN-TV. It marked the 52nd straight night of protests in the city against police violence and for racial justice.
Even after the tear gas was deployed, demonstrators regrouped outside the building in the early hours of Monday morning.
It wasn't clear whether any protesters were arrested or detained.
KOIN reporters saw protesters, including a group of mothers wearing yellow and holding flowers, peacefully surround a fence at the Mark O. Hatfield Federal Courthouse after night fell. A few federal officers were spotted leaving the building, but staying behind the fence before going back inside.
