I am here at the Old Federal Building in #EugeneOR. It is 44 minutes past the 5 p.m. deadline to begin work on removing the perimeter fence. There is nothing happening.
The front of the building is as it has been since the fence was installed. There are cardboard signs on the ground. The perimeter fence remains Nothing happening in the driveway

Check out one of our features for April 2026: Interview with Sofia De Ferrari on federal policy concerning incarcerated trans folks. dissonanttimes.org/2571-2/
Federal Policy Attempa to Forcefully Detransition Trans Prisoners: Interview with Sofia De Ferrari. 

Image showing Sofia wearing a pink headband while holding a guitar. This past February, the Trump administration released its new policy outlining a plan to deny federal prisoners access to gender-affirming healthcare, with a road map that leads from pathologizing the trans experience as a "mental illness" to forced detransition. 

This policy is a testing ground for conversion therapy, wherein the government uses prisoners in an attempt to prove dangerous conversion practices can work.Dissonant  Times reached out to Sofia De Ferrari, currently incarcerated at at Coffee Creek Correctional Facility in Wilsonville, Oregon, for an interview about her experience as a trans woman in prison, and her perspective on some of the terms and strategies this administration is using to oppress and erase gender-nonconforming people being held behind bars.

Democrats are seeking "reforms" like bodycams for federal agents (so they have more footage to make commercials promoting mercenary violence), marked ICE vehicles (so we can't pressure car rental agencies), stricter codes of conduct (while thousands of bounty hunters go on terrorizing us). Garbage.

They set the terms for the confrontation. Towards the end of the protests (around 9:30pm) the Eugene Police Department started staging around the block in SUVs and a riot truck, several officers on board. At the time that EPD showed up, there had been no reports of harm to persons or property.

The cancelling of appointments in the morning, the preemptive outfitting of riot gear, and the targeted arrests all indicate that Tuesday was selected preemptively by feds as a day to exercise force on demonstrators and quell local resistance.

Flash bangs, pepper balls and gas, and rushes from 10+ agents at a time continued after the vigil ended. Some shot through the alter and candles left behind to honor Pretti.

As protests continued, and throughout the 5pm vigil organized by health care workers for Alex Pretti, armed agents intermittently grabbed people to drag inside and deployed munitions on the crowds, with no obvious provocations. Protesters only yelled and chanted. There were many candles lit.
