Wyden, Merkley, Bonamici, Bynum and Dexter Tell Trump Administration to Withdraw Agents Deployed to Portland Outside ICE Facility
Oct. 17, 2025“Your federal agents weren't invited, they aren't needed, and their presence has fomented the very violence you claim they are there to prevent,” the five Oregon Democratic lawmakers wrote in a letter to Homeland Security Kristi Noem. “Photos and videos from our constituents and local media make clear that federal agents are needlessly using tear-gas against peaceful community members. Reports indicate, and videos show, that unprovoked federal agents have charged and knocked down peaceful protestors, including seniors and an elderly Vietnam War veteran. Constituents told us that federal agents have deployed unknown projectiles that have injured them. Many federal agents are fully masked and are continuing to hide any identifying information, which prevents our constituents from filing reports about any federal agents’ misconduct.”

Sept. 28, 2025“This unilateral action represents an abuse of executive authority, seeks to incite violence, and undermines the constitutional balance of power between the federal government and states,” the lawmakers wrote in their letter to President Trump, Department of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. “We urge you to rescind this decision, and withdraw any military personnel and federal agents you have recently sought to deploy.”

Aug. 20, 2025“Brushing aside concerns from human rights watchdogs, environmentalist groups, and Tribal nations, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has greenlit the construction of this expansive detention facility that may violate detained individuals’ human rights, jeopardize public and environmental health, and violate federal law. We ask that DHS promptly provide critical information for the American public to better understand this detention plan,” wrote the lawmakers to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons, FEMA Acting Administrator David Richardson, and DHS Inspector General Joseph Cuffari."
