PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – After a man was indicted Monday for his role in a “violent protest” at a Portland ICE facility, his alma mater Reed College announced it is opening an investigation into a staffer who gave the man’s personal information to authorities before his arrest.
On Monday, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Oregon announced that 24-year-old Robert Jacob Hoopes faces charges for allegedly injuring a federal officer and damaging the Portland ICE building.
The charges, and Reed College’s investigation, stem from a June 14 protest outside the South Macadam Avenue ICE facility, where federal law enforcement officers were stationed inside to secure the building from “violent protestors,” according to an affidavit, noting, “While federal law enforcement officers were within the building, numerous individuals attempted to breach the front door of the facility.”
