It’s with great sadness to report that they got us. Portland* is on fire.** 😔 *a single vehicle in Portland city limits. **a recycling bin truck? Doesn’t count as a dumpster fire then!

I do take a lot of civic pride in our fair city seeing a dying mall and seizing it as a common space for art, expression, and community. We don’t miss Hollister. We miss each other!

A series of banners that say things like “Lloyd 4ever”, “Say No to Zenith,” and “Free Palestine.”

Finally, by judicial decree, we can say that Dhillon is bad at posting.

Third, and finally, the language used by Assistant Attorney General Dhillon, the first signer of the October 3rd letter, in her social media post on that date is strong language of a threatening nature. As noted, Assistant Attorney General Dhillon preceded her reposting of a Nick Sortor comment with Dhillon’s own comment: “Portland: It’s FO time. Buckle up.” ECF 524-1 at 1 (emphasis added). That is neither language nor tone of a good faith investigation by the United States Department of Justice. Instead, it exhibits all the hallmarks of a threat and attempted intimidation.

Michael H. Simon, District Judge.
Pending before the Court is a motion brought by Plaintiff, the United States of America, to enforce ¶ 241 of the settlement agreement entered in this case. ECF 520. Plaintiff states that it has asked Defendant, the City of Portland (“City”), to provide certain documents that the United States contends are “related to the City’s compliance with the Agreement” and the City “has not provided most of the requested documents.” Id. at 4. The City opposes the motion on several grounds, including arguing that the United States Department of Justice “is proceeding with unclean hands [and] in bad faith.” ECF 523 at 17 (internal page 14). The amici curiae also oppose Plaintiff’s motion. ECF 522. The matter has been fully briefed, and the Court has considered the parties’ documentary evidence and heard oral argument. ECF 535. [Highlighted] For the reasons explained below, the Court denies the United States’ motion to enforce on the grounds that the Court finds by clear and convincing evidence that the United States has brought this motion in bad faith and with unclean hands. [end of highlighted]

parties cannot reach agreement within 21 days, each party may submit its own proposal, and each side may respond to any other party's proposal within 14 days thereafter. The Court will then resolve any disputes on this issue and appropriately supplement this Order of Preliminary Injunction.
6. In the interest of justice, Plaintiffs need not provide any security, and the Court
waives all requirements under Rule 65(c) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
7. Defendants shall promptly provide individual copies of this Order of Preliminary
Injunction to each Enjoined Person who currently is assigned duties at or in the vicinity of the Portland ICE Building. Within 28 days of the date of this Order of Preliminary Injunction, Defendants shall file with the Court written confirmation of their compliance with this provision.
In addition, Defendants shall promptly provide individual copies of this Order of Preliminary Injunction to each Enjoined Person who in the future is assigned duties at or in the vicinity of the
Portland ICE Building.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED this 9th day of March, 2026.

Preliminary Injunction granted in the Portland, Oregon-based lawsuit against the Fed's brutal response to non-violent protests at the ICE facility.

Screen shot of introduction of case:
Michael H. Simon, District Judge.
In a well-functioning constitutional democratic republic, free speech, courageous newsgathering, and nonviolent protest are all permitted, respected, and even celebrated. In an
authoritarian regime, that is not the case. Indeed, a democracy is only as strong as its tolerance for dissent. As Benjamin Franklin wrote:
Freedom of speech is a principal pillar of a free government; when this support is taken away, the constitution of a free society is dissolved, and tyranny is erected on its ruins.'
Our nation is now at a crossroads. We have been here before and have previously returned to the
right path, notwithstanding an occasional detour. In helping our nation find its constitutional compass, an impartial and independent judiciary, operating under the rule of law, has a responsibility that it may not shirk.
' Benjamin Franklin, "On Freedom of Speech and the Press," Pennsylvania Gazette, Nov. 17, 1737. Fifteen years earlier, Dr. Franklin wrote: "Whoever would overthrow the Liberty of a Nation, must begin by subduing the Freedom of Speech." Benjamin Franklin, Silence Dogood, No. 8, as printed in The New England Courant, July 9, 1722.

otherwise, it is HEREBY ORDERED THAT:
1. The Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and all agents and
employees of that Department, including all persons acting under the direction of or in active concert or participation with the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security or any
of its agents or employees (collectively, the "Enjoined Persons") are hereby prohibited and enjoined from engaging in, directing, or encouraging others to engage in or direct any of the
following actions at or in the vicinity of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE")
building located at 4310S. Macadam Avenue, near the corner of Southwest Moody Avenue and
Southwest Bancroft Street in Portland, Oregon ("Portland ICE Building"):
No Enjoined Person may direct or use chemical or projectile munitions,
including but not limited to kinetic impact projectiles, pepper ball or paintball guns, tear gas or other chemical irritants, soft nose rounds, 40mm or 37mm launchers, less lethal shotguns, and
flashbang, Stinger, or rubber ball grenades, unless the specific target of such a weapon or device
poses an imminent threat of physical harm to a law enforcement officer or other person.
No Enjoined Person may fire any munitions or use any weapons described
in subsection (a) at the head, neck, or torso of any person, unless the officer is legally justified in using deadly force against that person.

No Enjoined Person may use pepper spray, oleoresin capsicum spray, or
other aerosol restraint spray (collectively, "OC Spray"), unless the specific target of that weapon exhibits, at a minimum, active resistance. For purposes of this Order, and by way of example and illustration only, trespassing, refusing to move, refusing to obey an order to disperse, and "going limp" (or "going dead weight") are merely acts of passive resistance, not active resistance. In addition, no Enjoined Person may use OC Spray indiscriminately against groups of people where bystanders foreseeably would be affected. OC Spray, however, may be used against specific individuals actively engaged in violent unlawful conduct, actively resisting arrest, or as reasonably necessary in a defensive capacity.

2. Nothing in this Order shall prevent an Enjoined Person from making an otherwise
lawful arrest if there is probable cause to believe that a crime has been committed and that the person being arrested has committed that crime.
3. Nothing in this Order shall prevent an Enjoined Person from using proportional force, including less lethal weapons, on any individual who poses an imminent threat of physical harm to a law enforcement officer or other person.
4. Defendants shall not be liable for violating this Preliminary Injunction if a person is incidentally exposed to a crowd-control device, provided that such a device is deployed in a manner that is fully consistent with this Order of Preliminary Injunction.
The parties shall promptly confer regarding how the Enjoined Persons who perform duties at or in the vicinity of the Portland ICE Building can place conspicuous and
unique identifying markings (using numbers and/or letters) on the uniforms, vests, and/or
helmets of the officers and agents deployed at the Portland ICE Building so that they can be identified at a reasonable distance and without unreasonably interfering with the legitimate law
enforcement needs of these personnel. If the parties agree on a method of marking, they shall submit the terms of their agreement in writing to the Court, and the Court will then issue a Supplemental Order of Preliminary Injunction that incorporates the parties agreement. If the

We have an over-prosecution crisis coupled with chronic underfunded public defense crisis. And after the Oregon Supreme Court stood up for our 6A rights, DA Vasquez hand in hand with Washington County DA are out here saying, “prisons now, prisons tomorrow, prisons forever.” Civil Rights regressives.

Reaction from Washington County and Multnoma...
Joint Statement from Washington County District Attorney Kevin Barton and Multnomah County District Attorney Nathan Vasquez
February 6, 2026
The Oregon Supreme Court issued an opinion yesterday in State v. Roberts requiring the dismissal of criminal cases where the state has failed to provide a court appointed attorney within 60 days for misdemeanors and 90 days for felonies.
The immediate effect of this decision is the dismissal of 1,465 cases statewide, including 915 in Multnomah and 263 in Washington County. Cases subject to dismissal include crimes such as drug trafficking, aggravated theft, firearms and weapons offenses, felony DUII, and strangulation. This will cause real pain and harm to victims and the public.
We respect the decision and agree that a defendant's right to an attorney is essential. However, we also believe a victim's right to justice, the public's right to safety, and Oregonians' right to a functional public defense system are essential as well. The Court in
