Protest Frog Shirt

Protest Frog Shirt – the Portland ICE Demonstrations

The phrase comes from coverage of activist and counter-protester culture that developed around U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) offices in cities like Portland, Oregon, and Chicago in the late 2010s.
During that period, local activists held protests opposing ICE policies, while various online media figures, often associated with conservative or pro-MAGA (Make America Great Again) circles, documented or criticized those demonstrations on social media and YouTube.

The term “protest frogs” was sometimes used online to describe anonymous or meme-driven activists who appeared at protests — partly a tongue-in-cheek reference to internet meme culture (involving frog imagery, like Pepe or other variants) that had become intertwined with political discourse.
