Roughly 60 people held an Independence Day protest outside Eugene’s federal building Saturday. It was the first large gathering since a contentious fence was taken down days earlier.

Crews dismantled a metal fence around Eugene's federal building following a judge's order, ending a two-month barrier that activists argued obstructed free speech.

The clock is still ticking after a judge ordered the federal government Monday to remove the fence outside of the Eugene Federal Building.

A judge has temporarily blocked new noise restrictions against protests near the Eugene Federal Building.
