ACLU Releases Video of ICE Agent Slashing Tires of a Legal Observer in Oregon
The complaint asks the Department of Homeland Security to investigate and discipline agents after video showed a knife attack on a legal observer’s car.
- The American Civil Liberties Union released video evidence on Friday showing an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent slashing a legal observer's tire in Portland, Oregon, on Oct. 7 amid a reported surge in state enforcement activities.
- Documenting ICE misconduct has become increasingly necessary during the second Trump administration's immigration crackdown, according to Scarlet Kim, a senior staff attorney with the ACLU, who noted legal observers are 'neutral parties' providing assistance to those exercising their First Amendment rights.
- Agents wearing masks and 'Police ICE' vests exited a nondescript vehicle that forced the observers to stop. The driver produced a knife, stabbing the car's tire once, then returned to stab the same tire two more times before departing.
- Two individuals filed an administrative complaint with the Department of Homeland Security, demanding the agency 'investigate the incident, preserve all relevant evidence, and discipline the responsible agents' and conduct a comprehensive review of ICE retaliation patterns.
- Portland-Area residents stated, 'What happened to us is not unique, and that is what is so terrifying,' highlighting a pattern. Recent ICE misconduct allegations include an officer charged in Houston and a former agent sentenced in Ohio.
