Protestors in Portland, Oregon are using elaborate costumes to mock President Trump's characterization of the city. The protests are centered around the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in South Portland. Trump's intention of sending National Guard troops led to increased demonstrations, incorporating bizarre and humorous elements. Seth Todd initiated the trend by wearing an inflatable frog suit to protest immigration policies. Todd even experienced pepper spray through the suit, undeterred by the aggressive response. Operation Inflation is raising funds to provide more inflatable costumes to the protestors. Organizers believe that Trump will have to confront protestors in absurd costumes if he invokes the Insurrection Act. Participants like Jack Dickinson use humor to counter fear and demonstrate a lack of intimidation. Local lawmakers are also using the protest themes in publicity stunts. The message's effectiveness is uncertain, as conservative influencers primarily influence Trump's perception of events.
