Federal Judge in Portland Orders Limit on Chemical Munitions Near ICE Facility
A federal judge in Portland, Oregon, has issued an order restricting the use of chemical munitions near the ICE facility in South Portland. This decision comes after a lawsuit filed by protesters, supported by the ACLU, who claimed their First Amendment rights were infringed upon during demonstrations. The judge was influenced by testimonies of protesters being directly hit by munitions and arrested, as well as a video showing federal officers pepper spraying peaceful protesters. The order also follows a similar injunction issued for a nearby affordable housing complex. The Department of Justice argued that agents need these tools due to insufficient city support for securing the facility. However, the judge noted that a prior restraining order did not disrupt immigration work, suggesting this order should not either.
