In one violent incident on August 1, immigration agents in CPD's 25th District station lot boxed in an ICE observer, ripped her from her car and moved her to one of their SUVs to detain her. We asked for security footage from that morning. It shows ICE agents in full view of local police:

A report assessing barriers that stand in the way of people accessing Oregon’s parks - which was buried by the department - contained this harrowing anecdote. Read our @thewesternedge.bsky.social investigation and subscribe to see more reporting like this: www.thewesternedge.media/p/dei-at-ore...
One LGBTQ group told him a harrowing story: A lesbian couple had been harassed in a state park by another camper, and then a park ranger said they’d received a complaint about a rainbow sticker. “I asked park staff why it wasn’t okay for me to have a rainbow flag,” the person said, “but someone else, the man across the road, could have a Confederate flag flying on the back of his truck. The park staff said, ‘No one complained about the Confederate flag.’ Then told me I had to turn my car around.’
