A clarinet player was arrested after playing her instrument to the tune of the “Ghostbusters” theme song outside of a Portland ICE facility, which has recently become a site of daily clashes between federal agents and demonstrators.

Oriana Korol, 38, was playing “Ghostbusters” with her group — the Unpresidented Brass Band — during a massive protest outside the ICE facility in Oregon’s largest city Sunday evening when federal agents arrested her, her loved ones said. She has since been taken to a jail in Washington as her husband and bandmates demand answers about her arrest.

“Why are they targeting a clarinet player? A clarinet player standing on the sidewalk far away from the street, following instructions,” her husband wondered, noting they share a three-year-old child.

Korol was “peacefully protesting,” her band said in a social media post Monday. “Taking us citizens out of state to detain them without charge is a new action from the Feds and should be opposed.”

10. Are the amoral monsters planning to slither back into society...

...after we rid ourselves of this abhorrent policy and illegal fed agents. I hope we can track these thugs down and either tar and feather them, or at the very least, sentence them to community service.

11. These people are demented

our law enforcement will continue to remove murderers, pedophiles, rapists, gang members, and terrorists out of our country," McLaughlin said. "This chaos and violence will end under President Trump. Law and order will prevail."

Not sure who this McLaughlin person is but someone needs to put her in a straightjacket and check her internet history.

In all seriousness this is absolutely not ok and the language being used by these people is increasingly violent and unhinged.

Seriously folks, watch your backs and remember your rights.

13. In the original movie, the ghosts wore white sheets and obeyed Fearless Leader. ICE realized it was them in disguise.

14. That's kidnapping. She need to sue them. n/t

15. Taken to Washington State, and kept in custody for 2 days

Charged with assaulting a federal officer, eventually. It seems someone was being chased by ICE, they were tackled at her feet, and she was arrested.

16. ICE is bothered by noise - the whistles, honking, and Yakety Sax are getting to them

They are arresting people for honking horns in Chicago. They hate it.
