Overview

• Hundreds of demonstrators, including riders in an emergency World Naked Bike Ride, converged on the South Portland ICE site Sunday as federal officers on rooftops intermittently fired pepper balls.
• DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin condemned the naked “die-in” as an obstruction attempt and said enforcement will continue, with officials reporting three arrests on Sunday.
• U.S. District Judge Karin J. Immergut’s order keeps National Guard troops out of Portland for now, while a Ninth Circuit partial stay allows federalization to proceed and a decision is expected soon.
• Portland officials say ICE has violated the facility’s conditional use permit limiting detentions to 12 hours and are pursuing land‑use enforcement that could constrain operations.
• Tensions and safety concerns mounted with a federal agent captured drawing a gun on a car entering the facility and a union report of an ambulance crew being threatened, as several organizers face charges including Jairin Anzaldua-Ervin.
