PPB Monitors Gathering Around ICE Facility for Criminal Activity; No Arrests Made
Press Release
On the evening Monday, September 29, 2025, the Portland Police Bureau (PPB) monitored the South Portland neighborhood for criminal behavior. The local U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility is in this neighborhood, and it has been the scene of recent protest activity.

In support of PPB's presence in the neighborhood, an Incident Management Team was again activated. The team managed numerous resources that included Dialogue Liaison Officers, Rapid Response Team, Air Support Unit, and public safety partners.
PPB made no arrests. No force was used by PPB members.
Earlier on September 29, Chief Bob Day met with the media to discuss PPB's response to recent public order events and the support it has received from local elected leaders. That news conference can be watched here.
PPB members continue to conduct follow-up investigations into criminal activity and will forward cases to the Multnomah County District Attorney for prosecution when feasible. Sometimes arrests are not made at the scene when tensions are high, but that does not mean that people are not charged with crimes at a later date.
As a reminder, PPB does not engage in immigration enforcement as outlined in PPB Directive 810.10, but is still responsible for maintaining public safety and enforcing state laws.
PPB's public order page can be found here.
