PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — A veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps is alleging that he was battered and assaulted by Department of Homeland Security personnel outside of the ICE building in South Portland. His lawyer says they intend to sue the federal government in regard to two alleged incidents.
The first incident allegedly took place on June 13. In the video, you can see a man in a rainbow-colored shirt named Daryn Herzberg standing on the sidewalk next to the ICE building. Then you see what appears to be a federal employee come up from behind him and slam him to the ground. Then others come in and drag him.
His attorney wrote in a letter to Kristi Noem, the secretary of Homeland Security, “As a result of the August 13, 2025 assault and battery, Mr. Herzberg experienced fear, nausea, dizziness, difficulty breathing, difficulty sleeping, extreme pain in his left upper chest, clavicle, back, and shoulder, as well as his lateral left ribs and interference with normal life activities.”…
