25-Year-Old Portland Man Sentenced for Hitting Agent with Rock at ICE Facility
Robert Jacob Hoopes must serve three years of supervised release and pay more than $8,000 after pleading guilty to aggravated assault on a federal employee.
- On Thursday, District Judge Adrienne Nelson sentenced Portland man Robert Jacob Hoopes to 30 months in prison after he pleaded guilty to aggravated assault of a federal employee with a dangerous weapon.
- Hoopes threw a rock hitting an ICE officer in the head during a June 14, 2025 protest at the Portland ICE building, which has been the site of persistent nightly demonstrations against the administration's aggressive deportation practices.
- Beyond the rock attack, Hoopes and two others damaged the building's main entry with a stop sign; he was indicted August 5, 2025 on charges including depredation of federal property and ordered to pay over $8,000 in restitution.
- U.S. Attorney for the District of Oregon Scott Bradford stated 'violence is not a protest,' while other Portland ICE protesters faced varied outcomes including case dismissals, a mistrial, and Trenten Edward Barker's March sentence of 18 months for arson.
- The Justice Department has prosecuted assault cases nationwide during protests against President Donald Trump's immigration policies, from Chicago to Los Angeles, with a New Jersey detention center recently becoming a flashpoint for clashes between demonstrators and law enforcement.
