City of Portland will issue land use violation notice for ICE facility, triggering process to determine next steps at the site | Portland.gov

Following an investigation, the City of Portland will send a land use violation notice this Thursday for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Southwest Portland – launching a process to determine whether the site’s detention practices comply with the conditions of the site’s land use approval. Federal government records from a 10-month period show more than two dozen detention policy violations of the facility’s land use conditions of approval with the city, which does not allow detainees to be kept overnight or held for more than 12 hours. The notice also references a second violation related to boarded windows, which is not associated with the land use approval.
