A clarinet player was arrested after playing her instrument to the tune of the “Ghostbusters” theme song outside of a Portland ICE facility, which has recently become a site of daily clashes between federal agents and demonstrators.

Oriana Korol, 38, was playing “Ghostbusters” with her group — the Unpresidented Brass Band — during a massive protest outside the ICE facility in Oregon’s largest city Sunday evening when federal agents arrested her, her loved ones said. She has since been taken to a jail in Washington as her husband and bandmates demand answers about her arrest.

“Why are they targeting a clarinet player? A clarinet player standing on the sidewalk far away from the street, following instructions,” her husband wondered, noting they share a three-year-old child.

Korol was “peacefully protesting,” her band said in a social media post Monday. “Taking us citizens out of state to detain them without charge is a new action from the Feds and should be opposed.”
