Portland protester disabled by 2020 incident with US Marshal gets $7.65 million

A deputy U.S. Marshal shot Donavan LaBella in the head with a less-than-lethal munition outside the federal courthouse in downtown Portland on July 11, 2020. The incident has left LaBella, who at the time was 26, with a condition known as frontal lobe syndrome, which affects brain functioning processes like social behavior and language

And as I mentioned in some other comments here... even IF ICE can up its arrest rates (by getting more support from local LEOs) most locals don't have the jail space to support that volume of arrests!

The Seattle region regularly runs out of jail space for low level offenses. We at most have 100-200 open jail beds in the best case for LEOs.

During 2020 protests many days there were single digits of jail beds open for arrestees.

John Brooks, who ordered officers in riot gear to deploy tear gas + blast balls into a crowd of protesters on Capitol Hill on June 1, 2020. Brooks racked up …complaints, was promoted to captain; commanders responsible for abandoning the East Precinct went undisciplined.”
