Several rioters in Portland, Oregon, were taken into custody on Saturday night as planned demonstrations turned chaotic near an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility, resulting in injuries to four officers.
Following reports of “criminal activity” around the federal building in the South Portland Neighborhood, the Portland Police Bureau (PPB) announced in an early Sunday press release that three individuals had been arrested.
PPB clarified, “The arrests were solely targeted at criminal behavior, not on constitutionally protected free speech. Those involved in violence or vandalism will face investigation, arrest, and potential prosecution.”
The riot came after the city hosted a “No Kings” protest at 1 p.m., which officials labeled a “large-scale free speech gathering” with tens of thousands of people marching in demonstration.
PPB said Sabian Crisantos, 25, was arrested just after 8 p.m. for attempted assault of a public safety officer.

Tyson Kahnert, 20, was arrested around 10:50 p.m. after police saw a person throwing a rock at the ICE building, PPB said. Kahnert was charged with first-degree criminal mischief, two counts of attempted assault of a public safety officer, two counts of harassment, interfering with a peace officer and escape in the third degree.
Cory Oien, 38, was arrested around 1 a.m. Sunday after he was spotted picking up traffic control devices around the area and placing them in his truck, PPB said. Police said Oien was arrested for first-degree theft and driving under the influence of intoxicants.

All three were booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center.
Police noted that more arrests were possible as investigations continue.
“Just because arrests are not made at the scene, when tensions are high, that does not mean that people are not being charged with crimes later,” PPB said.
