Feds Say Oregon 17-Year-Old Used His Car to ‘Violently Attack’ ICE Agents
A 17-year-old U.S. citizen was detained by federal agents on charges of impeding law enforcement while off-campus near his high school, sparking local protests.
- On Friday, Christian Jimenez, 17-year-old U.S. citizen and McMinnville High School senior, was detained off-campus during lunch after officers broke his car window and took him to ERO Portland before releasing him shortly before 7 p.m.
- After agents reported being trailed, U.S. Border Patrol requested ICE backup as a Ford F-150 allegedly colluded with a blue Chevy Tahoe to barricade officers, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said.
- In video shared by his brother, the teen tells officers he is a U.S. citizen, and Unidos Bridging Community says he was one of four U.S. citizens detained last week.
- Local school officials, led by McMinnville School District Superintendent Kourtney Ferrua, notified parents and offered counselor support after hundreds protested and a 300-student walkout Saturday.
- The incident comes amid heightened scrutiny of federal immigration tactics and the Trump administration mass-deportation plans, with expanded authority allowing enforcement near schools and at least 170 citizens detained as of mid-October.
