PORTLAND — Protesters marched through Portland again Sunday night following a gathering of anti-Donald Trump demonstrators earlier in the evening.
Television footage showed dozens of chanting but peaceful marchers moving through downtown streets.
KOIN-TV said the march began following the peaceful gathering at Tom McCall Waterfront Park.
There, the protesters spoke to the crowd and had a moment of silence.
Police in Portland said they arrested 71 people late Saturday and early Sunday during anti-Donald Trump protests downtown.
In a news release Sunday, the Portland Police Bureau said the protesters failed to obey numerous lawful orders to vacate city streets. Most were cited for disorderly conduct and failing to obey an officer.
The bureau called in a public transit bus to transport the arrested to the central police precinct for processing.
Police said protesters repeatedly threw road flares and bottles at officers and that a police sport-utility vehicle was tagged with graffiti.
The demonstrations Saturday night happened despite calls from the city’s mayor and police chief for calm.
Several hundred people took to the streets Saturday night and police arrested people after protesters threw bottles and blocked streets and light rail lines.
The gathering came after a news conference Saturday in which Mayor Charlie Hayes and Police Chief Mike Marshman urged people to restrain themselves after several days of violent marches that damaged property and left one person shot.
The chairman of Oregon’s Republican Party called on Gov. Kate Brown to mobilize the National Guard and state troopers in response to anti-Donald Trump protests in Portland.
Bill Currier said that instead of closing Interstate 5 to allow protesters to march on the highway, the governor should be using National Guard trucks and state troopers “to block these unlawful protests.”
Demonstrators have conducted nightly protests in the city since Election Day. Officers said they found a stockpile of bricks and rocks, and that police and at least one film crew had been assaulted.
Two people were arrested in the nonfatal shooting of a protester early Saturday, and organizers said they planned to stage a vigil for the victim Sunday evening.
Police in Portland said they arrested two 18-year-old men in a shooting that wounded a man during a protest Saturday.
Police said Shamar Xavier Hunter and Steffon Marquise Corothers were in a vehicle on the Morrison Bridge when they became involved in a confrontation with protesters.
Hunter faces six counts of attempted murder and one count of unlawful use of a weapon.
Steffon Marquise Corothers, 18, faces one count each of attempted murder and unlawful use of a weapon.
Both are set for court appearances today in Multnomah County Court.
It wasn’t immediately clear whether they have lawyers.
Police initially detained four people they believe to be gang members.
