Downtown Eugene has drawn multiple protests since Wednesday, when an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer fatally shot 37-year-old Minnesota woman Renee Nicole Good, sparking national outrage.

The shooting, which was captured on multiple videos, was followed by an incident in Portland Thursday, in which Border Patrol shot and injured two people.

At Saturday's event, protesters called for ICE officers to get out of Eugene.
