Portland Says ICE Facility in South Waterfront Violates Land Use Agreement
Portland found ICE violated a 2011 permit by holding detainees overnight 25 times between Oct 2024 and July 2025, prompting a formal land use violation notice and potential fines.
- The City of Portland is preparing to send a notice to the ICE facility at 4310 South Macadam Avenue for violating land use conditions by holding detainees overnight or for longer than 12 hours.
- The city's permitting bureau initiated an investigation in late July following complaints and a review of federal records that identified more than two dozen instances of the facility holding detainees longer than allowed between early October 2024 and late July 2025.
- The site, operating under a conditional land use approval since 2011, has also faced protests and safety concerns from nearby residents and a charter school that relocated due to exposure to chemical munitions.
- Mayor Keith Wilson noted that the final decision remains uncertain and explained that once a notice is given, the operator or property owner has a 30-day period to remedy any identified violations, after which the city may impose penalties or hold hearings that can be appealed to the city council.
- The notice initiates a formal review process that may impose fines or reconsider the land use approval, while ICE may continue operations under current permits and Portland maintains its sanctuary city policies.
