Portland to issue land use violation notice to ICE building over alleged detention violations
Portland, Oregon, says it will issue a land use violation notice to the city’s U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building. The facility’s land use conditions of approval, in place since 2011, don’t allow people to be kept overnight or held for more than 12 hours. The city alleges that the facility violated this provision 25 times between last October through most of this July. The city said it reviewed data released by ICE to the nonprofit Deportation Data Project under public records requests. ICE did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Portland landowners have 30 days after receiving a land use violation notice to correct the issue. The next steps could also include a fine or a land use hearing.
