A woman is under investigation for allegedly interfering with a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation in North Portland on Thursday, during a federal enforcement action targeting illegal aliens with foreign gang affiliations, according to ICE officials and video obtained by The Post Millennial.
ICE officers conducting the targeted arrests noticed a woman driving erratically near the scene.
She allegedly ran a red light, nearly collided with a school bus, and began following ICE vehicles as they moved through the area.
The woman then reportedly attempted to box in the federal vehicles with her own, according to officials.
A Post Millennial reporter, who was on a ride-along with ICE at the time, recorded the encounter from inside a federal vehicle.
The footage shows the woman being pulled over by ICE agents after she followed the convoy and blocked its movement.
When an ICE officer approached her vehicle and told her she was impeding a federal investigation, the woman appeared apologetic.

“Don’t arrest me please. Give me a warning. I have kids… I’m just a mom,” she said, according to the video.

ICE officials confirmed that the agency’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) unit has launched an investigation into the incident.
Julio Hernandez, Deputy Field Office Director for ICE in Portland, said the woman’s actions endangered federal personnel and interfered with their operations.
“She placed our officers in danger. She blocked in our vehicles several times. We gave her multiple warnings to leave the area. This time, enough was enough,” Hernandez told The Post Millennial.
He said agents have seen an increase in activity from what they call “spotters” — individuals who attempt to disrupt ICE operations by alerting illegal aliens to the presence of officers.
“Spotters” have reportedly used vehicles, horns, or other signals to warn individuals targeted for arrest, often creating safety hazards for federal agents and the public.
The outlet also published a separate video clip taken earlier in the day, allegedly showing the same woman standing next to her car and making an obscene gesture toward ICE agents before the confrontation occurred.

The investigation into the incident remains ongoing, and officials have not yet released the woman’s identity.
The event comes amid rising hostility toward federal immigration officers across the country.
A July report from Breitbart News cited Department of Homeland Security (DHS) data showing a sharp rise in physical assaults against ICE agents this year.
According to the report, attacks on ICE personnel have increased by nearly 700 percent since January.
Federal officials attribute much of the tension to anti-ICE rhetoric from several prominent Democratic leaders.
Political figures including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, and California Gov. Gavin Newsom have criticized the agency’s enforcement practices.
In one recent statement, Jeffries referred to ICE agents directly, saying, “… every single one of them, no matter what it takes, no matter how long it takes will, of course, be identified.”

Despite the rise in targeted hostility and public interference, ICE officials say the agency continues its work enforcing federal immigration law and removing individuals with criminal backgrounds or unlawful immigration status.
ICE operations are ongoing nationwide, with the agency emphasizing that its mission remains focused on public safety and compliance with U.S. law.
“Our officers will continue to perform their duties,” Hernandez said, “and we will not allow intimidation or obstruction to prevent us from doing our jobs.”
