Case Summary

On November 21, 2025, five plaintiffs filed a class action complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Oregon (Portland Division) against President Donald J. Trump, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), alleging systematic violations of constitutional rights during protests outside the Portland Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) building. The plaintiffs included Jack Dickinson, known as "the Portland Chicken" for his yellow chicken costume protests, along with an elderly couple – 84-year-old retired woman Laurie Eckman and her 83-year-old Vietnam War veteran husband Richard Eckman – and two journalists: freelance photojournalist and Air Force veteran Hugo Rios and freelance video journalist Mason Lake.

The complaint alleged that federal agents engaged in a pattern of violence against peaceful protesters and journalists, including shooting Laurie Eckman in the head without warning, choking her veteran husband with tear gas, repeatedly shooting Dickinson while in his chicken suit, and attacking the journalists with pepper balls, tear gas, and other munitions despite their clear press identification. Plaintiffs contended this violence was part of an officially-sanctioned campaign of retaliation against those protesting the Trump administration's immigration policies, fueled by false narratives that portrayed Portland as "war-ravaged" and protesters as "antifa terrorists". The lawsuit asserted seven causes of action including First Amendment retaliation and violations, Fourth Amendment excessive force claims, Fifth Amendment due process violations, and Administrative Procedures Act violations. The plaintiffs sought injunctive and declaratory relief, vacation of unlawful policies, attorneys' fees, and other appropriate relief.

The case was assigned to District Judge Michael H. Simon.

On December 10, 2025, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, strengthening their factual allegations with more details.

Plaintiffs then filed a motion for temporary restraining order on January 27, 2026, seeking to enjoin the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from using excessive force against peaceful protesters at the Portland ICE Building. They cited evidence of systematic misconduct, including a January 2026 Martin Luther King Day incident where DHS fired over 100 pepper balls at approximately 20 peaceful protesters conducting a sit-in, and recent escalation during January 24-25, 2026 with indiscriminate use of gas and munitions. The motion was supported by expert testimony from former CBP Commissioner Gil Kerlikowske identifying policy violations, medical expert Dr. Rohini Haar on health consequences, and Portland Police Commander testimony calling DHS force "startling" and a departure from best practices.

The court granted a temporary restraining order against the government on February 3, 2026. Judge Simon found that plaintiffs had established a likelihood of success on their First Amendment retaliation claim by demonstrating they engaged in constitutionally protected activities, that defendants' actions would chill an ordinary person from continuing such protected activity, and that the protected activity was a substantial motivating factor in defendants' conduct. The court issued a temporary restraining order prohibiting DHS from using chemical or projectile munitions unless the target poses an imminent physical threat and from targeting individuals with less lethal munitions if it would endanger non-threatening persons. Judge Simon put the order in effect for 14 days while the case proceeded to a preliminary injunction hearing scheduled for March 2, 2026.

On February 12, 2026, plaintiffs filed a motion seeking to convert a February 3, 2026 Temporary Restraining Order into a preliminary injunction lasting until final judgment, and to require agents policing the Portland ICE Building to wear visible identification numbers with agency affiliation displayed. They argued they were likely to succeed on their First Amendment retaliation claim, presenting compelling evidence that defendants fired tear gas and pepper balls based on protected activity. The motion documented that defendants unleashed repeated volleys of chemical munitions into protest crowds including families with children and elderly people on January 31 and February 1, 2026, covering several blocks in thick gas.

The court found good cause to extend the TRO for an additional 14 days on February 17, while it was still ruling on the preliminary injunction.

On February 19, the government filed a motion opposing the preliminary injunction, reasoning that the plaintiffs were unlikely to succeed on the merits. The government contended that plaintiffs lacked Article III standing for prospective relief based on sporadic past incidents and that their First Amendment retaliation claims failed on the merits because officers used crowd control devices in response to unlawful conduct rather than protected speech. The defendants supported their position with evidence showing violent attacks on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers nationwide had increased 1,300%, with vehicle attacks rising 3,200% and death threats increasing 8,000%. They also argued that the requested injunction was over-broad and constituted an impermissible universal injunction, while asserting that the balance of equities favored the government's interest in protecting federal property and personnel. Finally, Defendant's requested that if the court were to grant an injunction, it would stay it pending appeal.

On March 1, 2026, plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification seeking to represent "All people who, since the beginning of Operation Skip Jack, have, desire to, or will nonviolently protest against, or report on DHS activities at the Portland ICE Building." The proposed class, estimated to have thousands of members, sought Rule 23(b) certification for injunctive and declaratory relief based on defendants' alleged pattern and practice of retaliatory violence against First Amendment protesters and their joint constitutional injury of chilled First Amendment rights, despite varying physical injuries.

An evidentiary hearing occurred over March 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. Afterwards the court issued two orders: one certifying plaintiff's' proposed class, and another granting their requested preliminary injunction. In granting the preliminary injunction, the court found a systematic pattern of excessive force, including incidents where DHS officers used tear gas, pepper balls, and other less lethal munitions against nonviolent protesters without warnings, targeting journalists and protesters. The court denied defendants' request for a stay pending appeal, allowing the case to proceed under preliminary injunction protection for all people engaged in nonviolent protests or reporting at the Portland ICE Building since Operation Skip Jack began.

On March 17, the government appealed the trial court's decision to grant preliminary relief to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Defendants then filed a motion seeking an administrative stay of the trial court. On March 25, 2026, the appeals court granted this motion, staying the trial court's proceedings in order to maintain the status quo while adjudicating the appeal.

Oral arguments are scheduled to take place in Ninth Circuit on April 7, 2026.

This case is ongoing.
