Another angle of plainclothes officers pushing a protester into a minivan on 2nd Ave near 25th earlier tonight. "We were skateboarding and eating pizza," said one witness. "We didn't see where they came from. All of a sudden they grabbed Nicki. It was like a kidnapping." pic.twitter.com/rzymNjlVVo

The man in this Portland video is Christopher David.

A Navy veteran, he tells us he went to the protests for the first time to ask officers about the constitution.

He said his fingers are broken and he needs surgery.

Ongoing standoffs in the former CHOP zone. Some protesters are saying there is a lull now but larger crowds expected to return.

This one's titled "Portland protestors winning."

Shields, leafblowers, drums, umbrellas, the most confidence I've seen. The feds retreat and protestors push forward pelting them as they go inside the doors.

Federal officers stormed from the Southern side of the federal courthouse, and the Wyatt Federal Building. A large amount of tear gas and impact munitions have been used. #PortlandProtest #PortlandMoms #BlackLivesMatter pic.twitter.com/vuioXcMVIr

A much larger shield line formed up facing the federal police skirmish line. It proved quite effective against resisting munitions used. Federal police was unable to push the crowd off Lownsdale Square Park today. #PortlandProtest #Portland #BlackLivesMatter pic.twitter.com/Um8Ag43E2R

Federal officers stormed towards the crowd from the North entrance arresting many along the way. There was a brief exchange of tear gas cannisters flying in different directions. #PortlandProtest #Portland #BlackLivesMatter pic.twitter.com/ggIS9vhLv9

The skirmish continued briefly until federal officers succeeded in pushing protesters off Lownsdale Square Park. #PortlandProtest #Portland #BlackLivesMatter pic.twitter.com/IphpkgnD36

Activists threw smoke grenades and fireworks to cover their advance. The protest crowd has retaken Lownsdale Park Square. #PortlandProtest #PDXprotests #BlackLivesMatter pic.twitter.com/ULp1PRuyTR
