Federal Agents Deployed to Portland After Dallas Shooting

News summary

The Trump administration has sent an influx of federal agents and armored vehicles to Portland’s South Macadam ICE facility, and Attorney General Pam Bondi announced DOJ agents will be deployed to protect federal property and arrest those committing federal crimes. City and state officials, including Mayor Keith Wilson and Sen. Jeff Merkley, urged calm and peaceful protest to avoid provocation amid escalating White House rhetoric and federal deployments. Oregon’s Democratic congressional delegation sharply criticized federal officers’ use of force against largely peaceful demonstrators—citing reports of officers shoving, hitting and pepper-spraying protesters—and called for investigations after an oversight visit. Portland issued a land-use violation against the South Macadam ICE facility for holding people beyond approved limits more than two dozen times, a finding DHS disputes while defending ICE operations. Days after a deadly shooting at an ICE facility in Dallas, lawmakers across the aisle condemned the attack while Republicans pushed a symbolic House resolution condemning violence against ICE, and Oregon leaders emphasized rejecting political violence while protecting constitutional rights.
