Oregon’s Democrat Attorney General Dan Rayfield has issued a brazen warning to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Federal agents operating in Oregon could be arrested and prosecuted if the state believes “excessive force” is being used while protecting the Portland ICE facility or detaining illegal immigrants.

The letter, sent on November 24, 2025, and co-signed by several liberal county prosecutors, formally puts federal law enforcement under investigation by the Oregon Department of Justice.

In it, Rayfield threatens that any federal officer deemed to have used force “beyond the reasonable scope of their duties” could face criminal prosecution under state law.

That means local left-wing officials in Portland are now openly vowing to prosecute federal Border Patrol agents, ICE officers, and DHS personnel for doing their jobs, namely, detaining illegal immigrants, responding to violent agitators at federal buildings, and protecting federal property.

According to the letter, Oregon officials claim that agents have acted unlawfully with “tear gas, pepper balls, nonlethal munitions, and takedowns,” including incidents where federal officers reportedly struck protesters and even other law enforcement personnel while defending the Portland ICE facility.

Rather than focusing on violent extremism, illegal immigration spikes, or assaults on federal officers, Rayfield’s office is targeting FEDS, accusing them of creating “volatile situations” even when confronting armed suspects or undocumented individuals resisting arrest.

The letter cited incidents where agents allegedly confronted teenagers at gunpoint in Hillsboro and broke a car window to detain a 17-year-old in McMinnville, describing these enforcement actions as “highly concerning.”

However, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin provided a statement saying that U.S. Border Patrol agents in Yamhill County were followed and obstructed by two cars on Friday.

The statement affirmed that the two drivers, Isaias Eduardo Soto Elias, 20, and a 17-year-old, were U.S. citizens. McLaughlin said the two were arrested for impeding federal law enforcement officers KATU.

Authorities are trying to charge Christian with “interference or obstruction of investigation,” his brother said.

The Oregon Attorney General’s office went even further, issuing a list of demands to DHS, including:

1. Cease and desist all “unlawful and unconstitutional actions” in Oregon.
2. Ensure “coordination with local law enforcement” at the ICE facility.
3. Investigate all accusations of “excessive force.”
4. Cooperate with state-level investigations and prosecutions.
