The Department of Justice is appealing orders from two separate federal judges that both restricted the use of crowd control devices at the ICE facility.

University of Washington data shows at least 2,125 people arrested last fall, a massive spike in ICE enforcement.

A federal judge in Oregon ruled Monday that he would continue to strictly limit federal law enforcement’s use of tear gas and other crowd control weapons on protesters outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in Portland.

The decision leaves in place a permanent injunction from November that blocked troops from deploying to Portland.

U.S. District Court Judge Michael Simon ruled that the judiciary has a “responsibility that it may not shirk.”

At a hearing Monday morning, U.S. District Court Judge Michael Simon said he expected to rule Tuesday on whether to grant a temporary restraining order that could curb when federal officers use force outside the Portland ICE building.

Luis Nino-Moncada was charged after he fled an immigration traffic stop on Jan. 8. He was arraigned in court Wednesday and pleaded not guilty.

The two people shot in Portland last week by U.S. Border Patrol face criminal charges, court filings released Monday show. Both have been released from the hospital and into federal custody.

The Department of Homeland Security identified the individuals shot as Venezuelan gang members. The federal defender first told OPB that the allegations are “a well-worn playbook.”

The Department of Homeland Security said its agent shot at gang members in self-defense. Hundreds protested at Portland’s ICE facility, and hundreds more held a vigil at City Hall.
