On October 10, 2026, a confrontation occurred in Salem, Oregon, between protesters and federal agents. Demonstrators used vehicles to block an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) transport near Lancaster Drive and Sunnyview Road. Video footage from the incident shows masked individuals attempting to box in a black federal vehicle, with one person using a baseball bat to strike the vehicle and knock off a side-view mirror. Physical altercations were also reported, including an instance where a protester appeared to grab an agent by the neck and throw a punch. In response to the unrest, federal agents deployed tear gas and other crowd control measures to disperse the group. Emergency responders treated several individuals on-site for eye irritation and breathing difficulties. Subsequent reports indicate that protesters utilized ‘rapid response’ networks to mobilize during the enforcement operations. During the clashes, one individual reportedly lay on a vehicle to obstruct agents, contributing to the physical scuffles. Federal sources have alleged that local and state law enforcement did not provide assistance to agents during the incident. Salem Police officials stated they had no prior knowledge of the federal operation and had not coordinated with ICE. The incident is currently undergoing independent reviews by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Oregon Department of Justice.
