Police officers in Portland, Oregon, cleared a so-called autonomous zone early on July 15, about 32 hours after a group of demonstrators took over a small area.

Officers helped city workers temporarily close Lownsdale Square Park and Chapman Square Park at about 5 a.m., the Portland Police Bureau said in a statement. People were given 10 minutes to leave and were arrested if they refused to do so.
