Three Demonstrators Briefly Detained at ICE Office in Portland During Protest to Support Immigrants
- A 24-year-old transgender asylum seeker from Mexico was taken into custody by ICE officers outside a Portland courtroom on Monday following her immigration hearing.
- This detention resulted from ICE's broader crackdown and removal efforts under President Trump's administration, which ended previous restrictions on arrest locations including courthouses.
- Known by the pseudonym O-J-M, she fled cartel violence linked to her gender identity, properly filed for asylum, and was facing a motion by ICE lawyers to dismiss her case and place her in expedited removal.
- Attorney Jordan Cunnings called ICE's courthouse arrest a dangerous attempt to bypass due process, while advocates expressed concern about unsafe detention conditions for transgender women like O-J-M.
- A U.S. District Court judge in Oregon issued an order preventing the removal of O-J-M while the case undergoes judicial review, underscoring the ongoing conflict between immigration enforcement actions and state policies protecting asylum seekers.
