PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) -- As simultaneous protests from opposing political viewpoints are planned for Saturday in Portland, city and county officials are making their views known ahead of time.

Organizers for one event at Delta Park announced it would start at noon on Saturday, while another group has planned an event three miles away at Peninsula Park starting at the same time, police said. However, citing crowd estimates that run counter to COVID-19 guidelines, the Portland Parks and Recreation Bureau denied a permit to the Proud Boys for a rally in North Portland on Saturday.
