The Eugene Police Department (EPD) was not involved in the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid that took place on November 5, 2025, according to a statement released by the city’s Independent Police Auditor, Craig Renetzky. The auditor’s office received several complaints from community members alleging the EPD’s presence during the raid. However, after conducting a thorough investigation, including reviewing the location of all EPD vehicles, dispatch records, police radio communications, and visual evidence from the incident, the auditor found no indications of EPD’s involvement.

It handles complaints and commendations about the EPD and appreciates the community’s vigilance in bringing this incident to their attention. Read the full statement here…
