Portland's ICE building remained shut down by 'Occupy ICE PDX at sunrise Friday, with about 40 tents and 100-150 people obstructing all entrances and exits. Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler has refused Portland police action against protesters. [More]Seems there's a word for that.
And a Constitutional remedy.

PDX mayor Ted Wheeler has said he doesn't want to interfere with the "protesters'" First Amendment rights.
Trouble is (and you won't find this stated in most MSM articles), they're not just "protesting". ICE has shut down that building, citing an unsafe environment for their employees, due to the "protesters". It's moved from First-Amendment-protected assembly to a safety hazard preventing a federal agency from fulfilling its duties.
There's a subtle difference, but Mayor Wheeler is an Occupy- and Antifa-supporting Leftist. Don't expect him to grok that difference, or care if he did.
(Besides, it's not like he has any qualms about interfering with his subjects' Second Amendment rights....)
