Ever wonder who those helpful green hats are? We’re the legal observers for the National Lawyers Guild! Established in 1968 in response to mass arrests at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago and protests at Columbia University, the legal observer program has been on the front lines supporting civil rights actions ever since. Our role is to protect the right to protest by documenting law enforcement interactions and holding the state accountable for actions toward protesters. Legal observers are trained to document potential violations of demonstrators’ rights, but they do not provide legal advice or participate in the protest itself. Our program relies on a network of volunteers, including lawyers, law students, legal workers, and community members who are at least 18 years old. The program operates through the NLG’s Mass Defense Committee, which also includes activities like “know-your-rights” workshops and providing legal representation to arrested protesters. Here in Portland, we’re always looking for new recruits to join our ranks. If you’re interested, shoot us a DM or email pdxlegalobserver@nlg.org. #legalobserver #nlg #nationallawyersguild #movementlawyer #socialjusticeactivist #civilrightsmovement #communitycare #communitydefense #jailsupport #massdefense taken in Portland City Hall by @nlgpdx

FROM THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST TO THE NORTH OF TEXAS -> SOLIDARITY WITH THE PRAIRIELAND DEFENDANTS! Yesterday on Friday the 13th, a federal court in the northern district of Texas convicted 9 people of various preposterous charges relating to a noise demonstration that occurred on July 4, 2025 at the Prairieland concentration camp. 8 people were convicted of providing material support to terrorists, and another person was convicted on bullshit conspiracy charges for moving a box of what the federal government is calling “insurrectionary materials” … aka ZINES. These convictions relied entirely on people’s perceived anti-fascist political beliefs and are in immense attack on the right to challenge the tyranny of a fascist government. These historic convictions are an attack on all people who have ever expressed any form of dissent or disagreement with the government, and the powers that be are currently celebrating what will soon come in the future from this fucked up precedent established in a courtroom in Texas. All of us MUST be informed about what happened in this federal case, what is still happening throughout the process of appeals and for the comrades awaiting their state trials, and also on what this means for the rest of us.

Check out the link in our bio for the full statement. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) continues its violent practices, resulting in death across the U.S. Their actions are impacting the lives of everyday people, our neighbors, and immigrant communities. NLG members from our Portland chapter, alongside the ACLU, won a Temporary Restraining Order against ICE’s widespread use of chemical weapons. In Chicago, federal agents used chemical weapons at least 49 times on protesters, in violation of orders from judges. Earlier this week, Immigration Customs and Enforcement’s (ICE) actions led to the death of Linda Davis, a school teacher in Georgia.This is the latest in a string of deaths related to DHS’s, ICE’s, and Customs and Border Patrol’s (CBP) campaign of terror. Keith Porter was murdered at his apartment complex in Northridge, California, after an off-duty ICE agent shot and killed him. ICE shot Alfredo Alejandro Aljorna and Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, hitting one of them in the leg, after accusing them of assaulting an agent. It turned out they lied under oath. In Chicago, Silvero Villegas-Gonzalez was shot and killed by ICE, after initial reports claimed the ICE agent feared for his life. News reports claim that the ICE agent described his own injuries as “nothing major”. by @nlgpdx

We always get asked: "Do you have be a lawyer to join the National Lawyers Guild?" No! Law students, legal workers, and activists make up a large part of our network of Legal Observers, and are members of each of our chapter. Since 1972, membership has been open to other workers, not just lawyers. The NLG understands the important work that gets done by all of those who work in the field of law. Curious? Visit nlg.org/join, or visit the link in our bio to sign up! by @nlgpdx

NLG members and the @aclu_or in Portland, Oregon, have won a Temporary Restraining Order against ICE! Read through the slides for our statement. Visit the link in our bio for more information on the case. A huge shoutout to the ACLU of Oregon for being incredible partners in this! We are proud of all of our members in Portland Oregon, who are in the streets, and in the courtrooms, making sure that our rights are affirmed, and that the violence the federal government is enacting on its citizens does not continue. taken in Portland, Oregon by @nlgpdx

Participants from Saturday’s labor rally and protest are sending their stories and photographic evidence of the use of tear gas at the Macadam ICE facility that spread for blocks on Portland streets in South Waterfront. Continue sending emails to the Mayor, City Council, 311 and Portland Police to report issues. Call 911 for emergencies. The National Lawyer’s Guild (@nlgpdx) is also inviting people to contact them: pdxlegalobserver@nlgorg. As usual, save the @pirc_oregon hotline to report ICE sightings in Oregon: 888-622-1510. Report violations of constitutional rights to @aclu_or. Submit complaints to the OR Attorney General. (Links in bio) by @nlgpdx
