A woman was taken into custody outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Portland, Oregon, on Saturday afternoon. She was arrested after crossing a restricted boundary during a heated encounter with federal officers, as shown in a video provided to Fox News Digital by TPUSA Frontlines.
The brief video captures officers issuing commands as a woman, identified by her keffiyeh, steps over a blue line marked on the ground at the facility. Almost immediately, several officers apprehend her and escort her toward the building’s entrance while others work to manage the crowd. The scene quickly becomes chaotic as protesters shout, and officers deploy pepper spray.
According to TPUSA Frontlines, the woman crossed a boundary ICE had designated off-limits and allegedly made contact with an officer before her arrest. They also noted that the number of protesters was anticipated to increase later in the day once the weather improved.

The Portland Police Bureau confirmed to Fox News Digital that there were two arrests linked to the protests that took place on Saturday.
In a statement to Fox News Digital, Portland Police Bureau confirmed two arrests connected to Saturday’s protests.
“PPB has arrested two people for crimes committed today. I do not have names or charges yet. The officers haven’t even transported them back to the precinct yet, so it will be a while,” the spokesperson said. “As we have every night for many weeks, PPB continues to monitor the area for criminal behavior.”
ICE did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s inquiry seeking confirmation of whether the woman’s arrest was carried out by its personnel or whether pepper spray was used by agency officers.

Protests outside the ICE facility in Portland have become a near-nightly occurrence in recent weeks, with activists opposing detentions and deportations.
TPUSA Frontlines also claimed that demonstrators appeared to have a so-called “safe house” near downtown Portland where they stored materials and coordinated activities. That claim has not been independently verified by Fox News Digital.

The Portland facility is one of several ICE locations nationwide that have been targeted by demonstrators in recent months, often resulting in property damage and arrests.
The two individuals arrested Saturday have not yet been publicly identified. Officials said additional information would be released once booking is completed.
ICE did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s inquiry seeking confirmation of the arrest or comment on enforcement activity outside the facility.
