Hillsboro Couple Files DHS Complaint After ICE Agents Chase and Slash Their Tire
A Hillsboro, Oregon couple filed an administrative complaint with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents allegedly chased them, boxed in their vehicle, and slashed a tire on October 7. The couple, who were recording ICE activity in a grocery store parking lot, claim the agents retaliated against their First Amendment-protected observation. The ACLU is supporting the complaint, which seeks a full investigation, evidence preservation, and disciplinary action against the agents. DHS stated the incident is under investigation, while ICE maintains that officers are trained to use minimum necessary force. The complaint also calls for broader institutional changes to protect the public’s right to record law enforcement.
