Judge Declines to Order Stricter Policing Outside Portland ICE Building
(Portland, OR) -- A Portland woman lost her bid to force police to crack down on noise and disturbances outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building. The woman argued nightly yelling and pounding at her apartment have persisted for more than two months, but a judge ruled police have discretion in enforcing the city's noise ordinance. Her attorney says the decision was disappointing and claims city leaders are allowing disruptive behavior to continue. Tenants in the building, including veterans, say the protests are worsening stress and fear, and more legal action may follow.
