Portland-Area County Declares Emergency Amid ICE Activity, Police Under Investigation by DHS
The Multnomah County Board of Commissioners has declared a state of emergency over increased ICE activity in the area, as local authorities are being investigated for allegedly collaborating with DHS.
A state of emergency has been declared by a county in the Portland area due to increased activity from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The move comes as local authorities investigate allegations that police have collaborated with Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials, sparking concerns about public safety and trust between law enforcement and the community. The action is seen as a response to Trump administration efforts to intensify federal law enforcement focus on Portland. The county's declaration mirrors actions taken by Portland itself in recent weeks.
