Since January 2025, law enforcement referred 109 arrests from Portland ICE facility protests to the Multnomah County District Attorney's Office. Of these referrals, 75 resulted in criminal charges, 28 were rejected, and 6 remain under consideration. Of the 75 cases filed, 24 resulted in convictions (16 guilty pleas, 2 no contest, 6 trial convictions), 43 remain open, and 8 resulted in dismissals or acquittals. Separately, one protester involved in the demonstrations was federally sentenced to 900 days in prison and was set to begin serving the term in September 2026.
