Court curbs federal crowd-control munitions outside Portland ICE building
TL;DR
A U.S. District Court in Oregon issued a 14-day temporary restraining order restricting federal officers outside Portland’s ICE building from using chemical or projectile crowd-control munitions unless there is an imminent threat, and barring strikes to the head, neck, or torso unless deadly force is justified, as protests continue and a separate lawsuit over exposure to tear gas proceeds; hearings are scheduled to decide further steps.
