2 charged with assaulting officers during riot near Portland ICE building

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Two men are facing federal charges after allegedly assaulting law enforcement officers during a riot in Portland on Saturday near a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office in South Portland.

Joshua Cartrette, 46, from Oregon City was charged with misdemeanor assault of an officer, which could lead to up to a one-year prison sentence. Ginovanni Brumbelow, 21, from Gresham, was charged with felony assault of a federal officer, which is punishable by up to eight years in prison.

During the riot, a law enforcement agent claims Cartrette pushed an agent and kicked multiple deployed tear gas canisters toward other agents.

Later that evening, officials say a different agent was helping arrest a rioter when he felt pain in the back of his head.

“The agent released the individual he was arresting and turned to observe a male rioter, later identified to be Brumbelow, directing a pointed wooden stake at him. Surveillance footage later reviewed by investigators confirmed the positions of Brumbelow and the agent amid the riot when the assault occurred,” officials said. 

The cases are being investigated by the FBI.
