Breaking: I am at the federal courthouse in Portland covering a pre-trial detention hearing for Julie M. Winters, an Antifa-affiliated militant charged for launching a knife attack on federal agents outside the ICE facility in Portland.
Winters, born as Christopher Hudson, has been accused of violating conditions of release. The US government is asking Winters to be held in custody until trial.
After Winters was arrested on June 24, a judge ordered his release from jail and sent him to be temporarily held in a mental detention center with the condition that he was forbidden from returning to the vicinity of the ICE facility.
Once Winters left the mental facility, he returned to his apartment which is across the street from the ICE facility, violating the court order.
Federal prosecutors say Winters is a violent threat to the community, has been making repeated threats against ICE agents since his release from custody, and must be remanded to jail.
Follow this thread for updates:
Winters entered the courtroom and yelled, "I don't want this man anywhere near me.” Speaking about her defense attorney, who he has accused of not helping him.
Winters was re-arrested last week for violating conditions and is being held in the Multnomah County Detention Center.
The federal prosecutor for the US District Attorney's Office in Oregon told the Court that Winters resisted arrest last week, resulting in five US Marshals fighting to take her into custody.
Winters assaulted at least one US Marshal while resisting arrest, the prosecutor said.
Breaking - Federal police officers arrested several Antifa militants outside the ICE facility in Portland last night, Aug. 18.
Agitators mobilized to attack the ICE facility, launching projectiles before ICE/FPS officers busted out of the gate and quashed the unlawful assembly.
The apprehended subject at the beginning of the clip is extremely violent 39-year-old Antifa militant Nick Wohlmut, who has been one of the main aggressors over the last few months at the unlawful occupation.
Wohlmut protests alongside his girlfriend, 38-year-old Angela Foster, who is another main agitator and was previously arrested by ICE/FPS.
After Wohlmut was released from custody last night, he allegedly assaulted @RheinDAmacher several times.
Amacher attempted to escape but was jumped by Wohlmut and other Antifa militants outside of a hotel.
A hotel employee witnessed the attack, which was captured on security cameras.
Breaking — Independent photojournalist Chelly Bouferrache (@hunnybadgermom) was brutally assaulted by a black bloc Antifa militant outside the ICE facility in Portland.
She was mobbed by an unruly crowd of protesters, resulting in Bouferrache deploying mace in self-defense.
The Antifa suspect then tackled her to ground and punched her repeatedly.
I captured video of the suspect throwing several punches at Bouferrache while he/she was on top of her in the bushes.
The suspect is pictured below. Please help identify him/her:
The suspect fled the scene to evade arrest with the help of Antifa/anti-ICE protesters.
I followed the suspect in an effort to prevent he/she from fleeing and was met by an unruly mob.
I persisted anyways.
The suspect ultimately escaped in a small black SUV getaway car.
Breaking: I am at the federal courthouse in Portland covering the initial hearing for Robert Jacob Hoopes, an Antifa militant who was arrested by the @FBI following a massive raid at his home on Friday.
Hoopes has been accused of launching several violent attacks on federal police officers at the ICE facility in Portland on June 14 during the "No Kings" riot.
According to an unsealed FBI affidavit, Hoopes allegedly threw a large rock at an ICE officer's head, resulting in serious bodily injury.
He was captured on surveillance video footage staging multiple rocks near the facility before throwing them at federal police officers.
Hoopes allegedly placed a motorized scooter in front of an exit door in an attempt to trap federal officers inside the ICE facility. When an officer opened the door to stop the entrapment, Hoopes allegedly threw a large rock, hitting the ICE officer in the head, according to the affidavit.
Additionally, Hoopes was captured on surveillance video using a desecrated Stop sign as a "battering ram" in an attempt to break the ICE gate. This task was done with several other Antifa militants, according to court documents and surveillance video.
Hoopes has been federally charged by the Department of Justice with assault on a federal police officer resulting in bodily harm and depredation of government property.
Hoopes was taken into custody by the FBI on Friday, June 25. FBI agents raided his home, where he lives with his girlfriend, who is also involved with the Antifa occupation at the ICE facility.
According to witness accounts, FBI agents raided his home in the early morning hours with their guns drawn. Other occupants, including Hoopes' girlfriend, were allegedly handcuffed and removed to the street wearing only undergarments after being combative with officers.
