The incident, which took place on SW Elizabeth Street near Don and Ann Davis Park around 10:15 a.m., was reported to the Newport Police Department. Officers then found the arrest was conducted by federal agents.
“The Newport Police Department had no prior knowledge of this operation and was not involved in any way,” the department said in a statement. “We did not participate in, assist with, or provide support for this action.”
Oregon is a sanctuary state, meaning local law enforcement agencies are not permitted to help federal immigration enforcement efforts.
The department also shared that it is “committed to fostering a safe and inclusive community for all residents and remains committed to transparency and full compliance with state law.”
KOIN 6 News has reached out to ICE for more details. This story will be updated if we hear back.
