Portland mayor announces extension of city-wide curfew

Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler announces that his city’s curfew would continue and starts again at 8 p.m.

For a second night, people in Portland roamed city streets.

Officers say some threw projectiles at them. According to a statement, fireworks and “aerial mortars” were thrown at the Multnomah County Courthouse, late Saturday.

In a tweet this morning, Wheeler, Portland’s mayor, wrote: “Agitators are not led by a conviction to change systemic racism. They are opportunists, using the cover of legitimate protests to sow fear in our communities. Don’t let them.”
