Watch ICE agents arrest man after entering Portland home without warrant
A video shared over 5,000 times on Facebook shows self-identified, plainclothes U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents entering a Portland home and arresting a man, without getting permission to enter and without a warrant.
When the agents, dressed in street clothes, came to the door, Cardenas said Friday, they did not tell him who they were. "All they asked was if I worked for my company and I said yes," Cardenas said over Facebook Messenger. "Then they said, 'Is Carlos here?'"
Cardenas said he asked them who they were and why they needed to speak with Bolanos, but the agents refused to answer his questions and then entered the home. After they walked in without permission, Cardenas said, "They said were the police but they didn't want to give me their names."
ICE later released the man, Carlos Bolanos.
Oregon lawmakers respond to warrantless ICE arrest in Portland home
"ICE's response was misleading at best, and failed to take responsibility for any of the actions necessary to correct what is a clear pattern of inappropriate behavior by the agency," Blumenauer continued. "I'm glad that it appears an investigation is underway regarding this most recent case, but there should have been one a month ago. I hope ICE will expand its investigation beyond this specific case. People must be held accountable."
