Overview

• The Multnomah County District Attorney announced Monday that disorderly conduct charges will not be filed against Nick Sortor following his Oct. 2 arrest outside the ICE facility.
• Angella Lyn Davis and Son Mi Yi still face second-degree disorderly conduct charges tied to the same incident, and their cases remain active.
• Probable-cause documents describe an umbrella marked “ACAB” being shoved at Sortor, his tearing it away and throwing it, and Davis, dressed in feathers, chasing him while swinging a feather-covered stick.
• District Attorney Nathan Vasquez said charging decisions require proof beyond a reasonable doubt and emphasized that free speech does not protect criminal conduct.
• Portland police defended enforcement near the South Waterfront site, noting 36 arrests there since June, and KOIN reports the Justice Department sent a civil-rights inquiry to the bureau after recent incidents.
