Video footage obtained by TPUSA Frontlines shows a tense standoff outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Portland, Oregon, as federal officers and protesters clash in the afternoon. The clip, released to Fox News Digital, documents a woman in a keffiyeh crossing a blue line marked on the property, prompting immediate intervention by several officers. The incident escalated quickly, with protesters shouting and pepper spray being deployed as officers moved to control the situation. The woman was detained after reportedly making contact with an officer, according to Frontlines.
Portland Police Bureau confirmed that two individuals were arrested in connection with Saturday’s demonstrations, though details about the arrests, including identities and charges, are pending. A spokesperson for the Portland Police Bureau stated that officers have not yet transported the detainees back to the precinct, and information about the arrests will be released once the booking process is complete. The police force reiterated that they continue to monitor the area for criminal behavior, citing a pattern of nightly protests in recent weeks.
ICE did not immediately comment on the incident or its involvement in the arrest, nor did it confirm whether pepper spray was used by agency officers. The agency has remained largely silent on enforcement activities outside the facility, despite repeated media inquiries. The PortlandICE facility, which has been a target of anti-ICE demonstrations in recent months, has seen multiple incidents of property damage and arrests. The protests, often led by activists opposing detentions and deportations, have become a near-nightly occurrence in the city.
TPUSA Frontlines claimed that demonstrators had a so-called ‘safe house’ near downtown Portland where they coordinated activities and stored materials. However, this claim has not been independently verified. Meanwhile, the ongoing anti-ICE sentiment in the city continues with the emergence of new protest incidents, including a recent clash involving rioters who clashed with police in war-like scenes on another day. These incidents have drawn national attention and underscore the growing tensions over immigration policies in the region.
