The crowd of several dozen, some wearing masks, were gathering for a "Not My Presidents Day" rally in protest of Donald Trump. Police lined up facing the protesters on Southwest Third Avenue. The incident partially blocked the road. At noon, a larger crowd gathered at Director Park under the canopy in the rain. After listening to speeches, some started marching. Portland police say the march had permits from the city.
