An email from a Portland police sergeant seemed to critique three individuals he referred to as “counter-protesters” after they clashed with anti-U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) demonstrators outside an immigration facility and were attacked.

This email from Sgt. Andrew Braun of the Portland Police Bureau was filed in Oregon federal court amid the state’s lawsuit against President Donald Trump and was observed by Andy Ngo, a senior editor at the Post Millennial who regularly reports on Antifa and U.S. protests. 

In the email, dated Sept. 21, Braun writes, “these 3 counter-protesters continue to be a chronic source of police and medical calls at ICE.”

The three individuals are listed as victims in the email and identified as Rhein Amacher, 35, Chelly Bouferrache, 56, and Katelyn Daviscourt, 31.

Braun’s email contended that the three victims “even engage in the same trespassing behavior on federal and trolley property as the main protesters.”

In his email, Braun detailed a “disturbance” on Sept. 20 outside the ICE facility that involved Amacher and 12 protesters. He noted that someone from the protester group pepper-sprayed Amacher and another “counter-protester.”

He mentioned that up to 50 protesters had congregated that night, describing them as “more agitated than most nights,” which prompted him to call for additional police support.

According to Braun, officers searched for the individual responsible for the pepper-spray incident but did not succeed. Nonetheless, officers managed to avoid direct confrontation with the “main crowd” of protesters. He observed that the protesters’ intensity diminished, and they began to disperse as police maintained a presence by driving through the area multiple times.

Fox News Digital reached out to the Portland Police Bureau for comment on the email but did not immediately hear back.
