Three Portland anti-ICE demonstrators convicted on separate federal charges

Three individuals involved in recent protests at Portland's ICE facility have entered guilty pleas to federal offenses, each receiving different charges.

In a series of convictions stemming from protests at Portland's Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility, three participants have pleaded guilty to federal crimes. Oriana Korol was found guilty after kicking a federal officer during an arrest operation, while Ginovanni Brumbelow admitted to striking an officer with a wooden stake, resulting in a charge of assault with a dangerous weapon. Katherine Vogel, who was caught applying red paint to the building and later punching an officer, pleaded guilty to interfering with law enforcement rather than assault.

All three cases are being handled by the U.S. Attorney's Office led by Scott Bradford, who took the role in July 2025. Brumbelow faces a possible 20-year sentence, whereas Korol and Vogel could receive up to one year in prison. Their sentencing hearings are scheduled for October.

Why it matters

The convictions show federal enforcement of laws against violent protest actions at a high-profile immigration facility.
