Protesters in Portland, Oregon have set up a new autonomous zone around a family’s private property by surrounding the house with government-owned fences and barricades as they rallied against the family’s eviction, officials said.

Mayor Ted Wheeler said on Tuesday that it was “time for the encampment and occupation to end,” adding that the people rallying there are “illegally occupying private property.”
