PORTLAND, Ore. — A Portland City Councilwoman plans to tighten the noose around Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which faces possible eviction from its detention center facility for failing to comply with land use conditions.

ICE Violated City Council Detention Conditions

The ICE detention center in Southwest Portland leased the premises on condition that suspects were not detained overnight or for more than 12 hours.

The City Council recently discovered that this condition has been repeatedly violated since the beginning of the year, when the new Trump administration introduced new immigration laws.

Land use rights were also violated when ICE boarded up windows in the building, following street demonstrations by outraged protesters.
