Portland police arrest 3 outside ICE facility after riot amid protest
PORTLAND, Ore. () — The area surrounding a Portland ICE facility is no longer considered a riot, Portland police announced shortly after 9 p.m., hours after their initial riot declaration amid a protest. In addition, police said they arrested three people, two of them for allegedly assaulting a peace officer in separate incidents. They added in one instance, a federal officer was injured but did not require medical treatment. This comes after hundreds of protesters gathered outside the Portland ICE building after a brought tens of thousands of demonstrators on Saturday afternoon. Federal agents deployed tear gas at the protesters gathered outside the ICE building, with some protesters appearing to breach the door of the building at one point as KOIN 6 News crews continued to monitor the scene. Shortly after 6:30 p.m., the Portland Police Bureau announced via a sound truck at the scene that the riot declaration was effective for the areas near South Moody Avenue and South Bancroft Avenue. They had warned people to leave the area by traveling north or they would be subject to arrest, citation or crowd control measures. In an update just after 8 p.m., PPB said they 'observed criminal activity including assault and criminal mischief' and would be making arrests. They warned people not to interfere. At around this time, officers made their first arrest of the night for assault of a public safety officer. Around 9:45 p.m., the Portland Police Bureau announced via a soundtrack that they were once again observing criminal activity and would be making targeted arrests, according to their account. Throughout Saturday night and into Sunday morning, officers remained on patrol at the ICE facility. Just before 11 p.m., officers arrested another protester after police said they saw them throwing a rock at the building. While making the arrest, officers said they were then pepper sprayed by another protester. That individual has not been located at this time, police said. The arrested protester is facing charges of first-degree criminal mischief, attempted assault of a public safety officer (two counts), harassment (two counts), interfering with a peace officer and third-degree escape. The final arrest of the night came at 1 a.m., when officers found a man at Southwest Macadam Boulevard picking up traffic control devices around the area and placing them in his truck. Police say he is facing charges of DUII first-degree theft. In response to the demonstrations at the ICE facility, Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin shared the following statement, largely condemning the acts: 'Portland rioters are violently targeting federal law enforcement and we won't sit idly by and watch these cowards. These rioters have launched fireworks, smoke grenades, and thrown rocks at federal law enforcement. A mob broke glass and forcibly entered the ICE facility. Thankfully, federal law enforcement was able to secure the facility. 4 officers were injured during the attack. Our officers are facing a 413% increase in assaults against them as they put their lives on the line to arrest murderers, rapists, and gang members. Secretary Noem's message to the rioters is clear: you will not stop us or slow us down. ICE and our federal law enforcement partners will continue to enforce the law. And if you lay a hand on a law enforcement officer, you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.' The continued demonstrations at the facility on South Macadam Avenue come after protests flared up across the country over federal immigration enforcement raids that began last week, as well as Trump ordering the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles, where protesters blocked a freeway and set cars on fire. Protesters had held a steady presence outside the facility throughout the week. There were also previously reported physical confrontations between protesters and federal agents. Additionally, federal agents deployed pepper balls and protesters allegedly engaged in vandalism, tried to start fires, and committed other crimes cited by the Portland Police Bureau. Portland police made 10 arrests on Thursday night and three arrests on Wednesday night. The tone of these protests after dark contrasted with the daytime activity at the ICE facility, which remained largely peaceful throughout the week. Additionally, were arrested by ICE on Thursday and earlier this month, ICE made four different arrests outside a Portland Immigration Courthouse. Two of those detainees were later after lawyers with the Innovation Law Lab filed a habeas corpus petition to challenge the arrests. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Was it a cough — or DUII? Driver in fatal Eugene crash arraigned
The 51-year-old driver accused of fatally striking 79-year-old Sharon Schuman while she was out for a jog on Amazon Parkway in Eugene in April was arraigned in a Lane County Circuit Court on manslaughter and DUII charges on June 6. According to court documents, Scott Stolarczyk was driving a 2016 Toyota Rav4 northbound on Amazon Parkway when the vehicle left the roadway and struck Schuman on April 23. She died as a result of her injuries. Schuman was a well-known member of the Eugene community known as an academic, writer and musician who taught literature at the University of Oregon. Following the crash, Stolarczyk allegedly told officers he experienced a coughing fit, which led him to pass out at the wheel, according to a probable cause affidavit. He said he woke up after his vehicle had come to a rest sideways in a wooded area past the crash site and did not remember the crash. He was taken to a local hospital where his blood alcohol content was tested at 0.23, which is nearly three times the legal limit in Oregon. Second-degree manslaughter is a Class B Felony, while driving under the influence of intoxicants is a Class A misdemeanor. According to court documents, Stolarczyk posted bail following his arraignment and was no longer in custody at the Lane County Jail. He had a pre-trial conference scheduled for July 10.
