On the evening of Friday, June 20, 2025, the Portland Police Bureau (PPB) monitored the South Portland neighborhood for criminal behavior. The local U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility is in this neighborhood, and it has been the scene of protest activity in recent days.
As a reminder, PPB does not engage in immigration enforcement as outlined in PPB Directive 810.10, but is still responsible for maintaining public safety and enforcing state laws.
In support of PPB’s presence in the neighborhood, an Incident Command Team was again activated. The team managed numerous resources that included Dialogue Liaison Officers, Rapid Response Team, Sound Truck, and partners.
PPB made no arrests. No force was used by PPB members and no officers were injured.
PPB members continue to conduct follow-up investigations into criminal activity over the course of the last week-and-a-half and will forward cases to the Multnomah County District Attorney for prosecution when feasible. As a reminder, just because arrests are not made at the scene, when tensions are high, that does not mean that people are not being charged with crimes later.
