PORTLAND, Ore. — Oregon Health & Science University say some protesters at South Portland's U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building are affecting its helipad and emergency flights.

On Saturday, OHSU shared a photo of a flyer that's entitled: "You're invited: LASER TAG!" "Every night for weeks[,] we are forced to listen to the threatening rhythm of helicopter blades as the federal regime spies on us," it reads, in part, telling people to gather at public places on Saturday night to "fight back" by "unleash[ing] your beam at the cop copter."

Due to that planned event, OHSU said, several air ambulance vendors will not land at the hospital helipad Saturday night. Instead, their helicopters will land at other airports, and patients will then be transported to OHSU's hospital via ambulance, which could take 45-60 minutes.

"For most patients[,] that will be an acceptable delay. However, for some sensitive situations, such as unstable trauma patients, STEMIs and strokes, the delay could have real impacts," OHSU warned in an email. The hospital added that it has alerted staff to "incorporate additional transit time into their decision-making," cautioning people not to take place in the event, calling it "extremely dangerous."
