(CNN)Demonstrators were ordered Saturday afternoon to leave the downtown Portland area where left-wing anti-fascist protesters gathered to counterprotest a rally by far-right and extremist groups.
Portland police declared the protests a civil disturbance, and they told people to leave immediately.
“This means everyone,” they tweeted. The order came after crowds blocked streets.
At least 13 people were arrested Saturday during seven hours of demonstrations, police said.
It was unclear which groups the arrested persons were affiliated with.Police tweeted that one person who was injured during the day’s events was taken to a hospital.
