September 16th- one person was detained this morning by ICE in the Portsmouth neighborhood of North Portland, OR. Another person was detained in the same area yesterday. ICE and other law enforcement may still be in the area as of 9:30am, and PIRC legal observers are still present in the area.

Trigger Warning: Suicide 1/2 On #WorldSuicidePreventionDay (9/10), we remember that suicide in immigration detention is not inevitable—it’s preventable. Detention isolates community members and puts their lives at deadly risk—that’s why deportation defense is suicide prevention.

We're seeing the impacts of increased immigration filing fees from Trump's budget (the 'big beautiful bill') with immigrant families we're in touch with in Oregon who are being forced to choose between paying for work permits and paying their rent, keeping lights on, or putting food on the table.

Gang Someone broke the windows at PDX Saintlove’s day space. It’s estimated it’ll cost $1600 to fix and clean up. If you have $5 donate it to help Kristle and the team out. pdxsaintslove.org

This week, the partner of a person who’s been deeply involved in ASSC’s organizing work was detained by ICE. His family is fundraising to support themselves and him while he, the primary breadwinner, is detained. Please consider donating & sharing: tinyurl.com/SupportDaixon

“There is a baby in the car,” Khanbabazadeh said. “Is it hard to wait for three minutes?”

Circulan rumores de que el "Zar Fronterizo" de Trump, Tom Homan, podría venir a Portland. Aún no sabemos si se ha confirmado la visita, pero estamos trabajando con nuestros socios y líderes locales y federales para obtener respuestas. #oregonparatodos #conozcasusderechos #justiciaparainmigrantes

Rumors are circulating that Trump’s “Border Czar” Tom Homan may be coming to Portland. We don’t yet know if a visit has been confirmed, but we're working with our partners and local and federal leaders to get answers. ✅ Call the PIRC hotline to report ICE sightings: 1-888-622-1510

The PIRC hotline provides verification and rapid response for ICE activity and detentions in Oregon. PIRC is mostly volunteer and has 3 main ways of sharing information: - Instagram @pirc_pdx - Facebook /pdximmigrantrights - Spanish language WhatsApp group: whatsapp.com/channel/0029...

A Portland mom and her four children, who are U.S. citizens, are being detained in Ferndale by the U.S. CBP according to Rep. Maxine Dexter. The family has been held at the facility for nearly two weeks without any contact with legal representation or charges being filed, according to their lawyer.

"We're watching the imposition of a global concentration camp network." We're going to need a global network of opposition to this too, from the neighborhood and community level up into governments at the local level through Congress. There are more of us than there are of them.

This shit gets all the more evil when you realize that the people deciding the future of your tax money to fund concentration camps and take away healthcare are also using the information to do insider trading. Congrats to all!

This bill will cause more illness, death, hunger, homelessness, poverty, climate collapse and infrastructure decay - all to turbo-charge ICE to rip our families and communities apart while lining the pockets of the wealthy. Disgusting.

“Isn’t the whole purpose of checks and balances that the executive branch must follow the law that Congress writes and the judiciary is here to ensure that the executive branch only takes those actions that are authorized by law?” the judge said during the hearing.

This is a great piece that highlights a cruel tactic ICE has been using for the last few months. Multiple folks we accompany have been detained in this exact way. As the article highlights, it’s disturbing that whether or not people comply with their legal process, they run a high risk of detention

Important update from PIRC 6/24/25: In the past 2 weeks at least 2 people have been detained after leaving the PDX immigration court building, as they were walking to their cars or driving away. This is a new tactic and we need to respond strategically. (1/3)

ICE recently closed its Portland building to the public, multiple sources told Street Roots Monday. The closure may seem like a win for ICE opponents, but immigrant rights advocates say closing the building wreaks havoc for those seeking critical legal aid. ✍️: @jeremiahhayden.bsky.social

DISASTROUS. This means they will send people to horrific situations with no due process — in direct violation of promises the Solicitor General made to the Court in previous cases. This greenlights sending people to be enslaved in Libya or tortured in any random foreign country.

Preschool for All has been a lifeline for many newcomer immigrant families we've met in our work- literally been the difference between sleeping in a tent with a toddler and being able to afford and manage a home, work schedule, and early education. Please share your support of this program today!

Exactly this! To clarify some confusion we've seen - the Portland office is not a formal detention center with overnight capacity, and that matters. People don't get out once they're sent to the NWDC in Tacoma. People have gotten out of the Portland ICE office pre-transfer.

This is so horrifying. This moment is one that requires some strategic reflection from all of us, to think critically about how we can actually achieve ICE abolition in Oregon and across the country. First: let the experiences of people impacted be the drivers of strategy.

We have seen the terror this causes, especially for survivors of gang and state violence, as loved ones are disappeared off the street. As we speak families and community volunteers are refreshing ICE, sheriff, any detainee locater to see who, if the state at all, took an Oregonian yesterday.

This is a terrifying & evil attempt to criminalize the solidarity that we all should be engaging in right now. Sending love & power to organizers, advocates, and immigrants in NYC from PDX.

In recent weeks, both actual ICE presence and rumors of ICE presence have increased dramatically in Oregon. Unverified rumors about ICE cause panic in our communities and can take capacity away from responding to true ICE action. Follow the steps in these slides to verify & report ICE in Oregon.

Thank you @wyden.senate.gov! Now call to impeach Kristi Noem!

Pretty sucky to see @bynum.house.gov vote for a resolution that praises police-ICE collaboration and “expresses gratitude” to ICE as ICE snatches Oregon residents, including her constituents, from their homes, their workplaces, and courthouses. Totally antithetical to Oregon’s sanctuary state values

Portland: See y’all there today!

If the courts want to be rational they could offer Skype sessions or telephonic hearings. If they were interested in peoples rights and safety.

Today at Seattle Immigration Court, ICE arrested a woman when her lawyer was in the bathroom. Damned if you do, damned if you don't, indeed

After ICE showed up at PDX immigration court yesterday, many families missed court today- terrified of family separation, months of imprisonment in inhumane conditions, &deportation. Sadly missing court often = deportation order. Damned if you do comply with your legal process, damned if you don't.

Legal observers & imm lawyers have been attending court for over a week in anticipation of this. We love Portlanders' fighting spirit and diversity of tactics & also urge taking guidance from the people already living and organizing in this nightmare as you find your paths of resistance (thread)

At PDX Voz Workers Center last Thurs., a group was screen printing these on a sunny day. Community members planned to take the posters to Tacoma this Sat., calling to free all detainees including Dixon (Aunty Lynn) and Jorge Luis Reinaldo, who is held at the same ICE facility. Now, she’s free.

We’re here tonight at the Multnomah County Budget Hearing in support of proposed funding for newcomer family shelter! Beth C. from @uniteoregon.bsky.social shares their support for this program, naming how unsheltered newcomer families are vulnerable not only to police but also ICE enforcement.

I think this is great and also urge @repdexteror.bsky.social to highlight the 250 other men who were wrongly deported to El Salvador. Kilmar Abrego García is not her constituent, but thousands of Venezuelan asylum seekers fearing being sent to CECOT are. I hope she uplifts them too.

An Oregon father w/TPS is detained at Bluebonnet in TX. He fears being sent to El Salvador. His wife sent us this video of another detained man calling for action to guarantee due process and human rights for those detained at Bluebonnet & all Venezuelan asylum seekers. English transcription below.

It shouldn't matter if Trump’s victims have criminal records. If we only defend the “innocent,” the fascists will argue that their victim “was no angel.” An anti-fascist rhetoric that carves out exceptions for imperfect victims is a gift to our opponents. New from me for @us.theguardian.com:

Made some calls. Expect to sign a contract tomorrow. Initial focus is New Haven as that's the largest operation for the carrier by a factor of 4x. Here. We. Go! avelno.com

No one deserves detention. No one deserves deportation. No one deserves prison. No one deserves to be separated from their loved ones. No human is illegal. Free them all.

Where is the data on family homelessness? When we have a family on the 211 shelter and rehousing waitlist they can expect a 6-9+ months wait in a car or tent. When we refer adults the wait for a congregate bed is 1-7 days. We critically need more shelter, rehousing funds, and affordable housing.

We are being lied to when they tell us that beneficial programs to help our fellow Americans cost too much money. Nativism will cost us all.

If your client or loved one has been disappeared by the US gov, whether to Guantánamo, a Salvadoran gulag, or some other incomunicado/unregistered ICE or CBP facility, I urge you to report it to the UN Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances (thread): www.ohchr.org/en/special-p...

We've been fielding many panicked messages since many of our migrant organizers and friends received word that the administration is canceling their parole, in a threatening message telling them to self deport. We've been sharing this FAQ from Equity Corps of Oregon equitycorps.org/faq-announce...

A compañero contacted us about a last minute ICE check in. We were able to mobilize rapid response through PIRC and get lawyers and accompaniers on the ground. If you see ICE, someone is detained, or you receive a short notice ICE check in call PIRC 1-888-622-1510

Hopefully tomorrow I’ll feel ready to fight, but as someone who organizes alongside and supports and loves countless Venezuelan asylum seekers, I’m distraught over the AEA decision. Like, nothing pithy to say. This is a death sentence for people who are our neighbors and friends. That’s it.

🚨UPDATE: Rümeysa Öztürk has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in DHS custody. She has not received her required asthma medications—a violation of her fundamental right to medical care. This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.
