The women, who were seen wearing bike helmets, demonstrated outside of a federal courthouse for a few hours, before officers used tear gas and flashed bangs to get them to leave the area, Buzzfeed reported.
Federal officers were sent into the city last week after festivities between police and protesters ensued.
Trump took to Twitter on Sunday to call protesters in Portland "anarchists" and defend his decision to deploy federal troops to the Oregon city.
"We are trying to help Portland, not hurt it," the president wrote. "Their leadership has, for months, lost control of the anarchists and agitators.
"They are missing in action. We must protect Federal property, AND OUR PEOPLE. These were not merely protesters, these are the real deal!"
