“What we’re seeing is there are people being detained and there’s no arrest warrant,” Ruiz said. “ICE is detaining legal residents and U.S. citizens, and the reason why they’re being detained is because they look brown, they speak brown and they do work jobs that are predominantly done by brown people.”

#ICE detained a citizen in Ruiz’s district photographing unmarked ICE vehicles. ICE agents kept the phone and are now trying to justify searching it.

Federal officers “gassed” Portland police officers and fired pepper balls at one local officer outside the U.S. Immigration and Enforcement building in the city in the past month.

When Portland police later confronted federal law enforcement for aiming at and striking their officer with pepper balls, federal officials responded, “help or get out of the way,” according to police.
