SALEM, Ore. — State police declared an unlawful assembly at Oregon’s Capitol building as protesters attempted to force their way in during a special legislative session. Some demonstrators had guns and others attacked authorities with bear spray.
Inside the Capitol, Lawmakers passed four bills Monday evening, which includes $800 million in relief to people struggling from the pandemic and wildfires, extending an eviction moratorium through June and allocating funds for renter and landlord relief.
