Feds Charge Three After Portland Antifa Mob Targets ICE Officers [WATCH]

Federal prosecutors in Oregon announced Thursday that three individuals have been formally charged following a series of assaults on federal law enforcement officers outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office in South Portland.

The charges stem from incidents that occurred during a June 24 protest in which federal officers were targeted with weapons and incendiary devices.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Oregon confirmed that the defendants — Julie Winters, Aziel Chambers, and Rachel Jean Pope — appeared in federal court for initial proceedings before a U.S. Magistrate Judge. Each faces different charges based on their alleged involvement.

Julie Winters, 46, of Portland, has been charged by criminal complaint with attempted assault of a federal officer, a felony offense.

According to court documents, federal officers observed Winters attempting to ignite what was described as an incendiary device next to the guard shack of the Portland ICE building at approximately 11:15 p.m. on June 24.

When approached by officers, Winters allegedly pulled a large knife from her backpack and threw it at one of them. The officer was not struck.

Winters then attempted to flee but was subdued with a taser by federal officers.

According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, the protest outside the ICE facility had been building for several weeks, with groups reportedly returning multiple times to harass law enforcement officers and attempt property damage.

Officers reported being subjected to pepper spray, rocks, bricks, and other thrown objects during the course of the demonstrations.

Winters faces the most serious legal consequences among the three defendants.

Attempted assault of a federal officer is a felony offense that, if it results in bodily injury, carries a potential prison sentence of up to 20 years.

Chambers and Pope have both been released from custody pending further court proceedings. Winters remains detained as her case moves forward.

The Department of Homeland Security and Federal Protective Service (FPS) continue to investigate the incidents.

Authorities have not ruled out additional charges or arrests related to the events of June 24 or the preceding weeks.

Federal prosecutors emphasized the seriousness of assaults on law enforcement officers and noted that violent actions targeting federal personnel and facilities will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
