Julie Winters, Felony Intimidation, Oregon 2025

Portland, Ore.— In a shocking turn of events, Julie Winters, 47, of Portland, pleaded guilty yesterday to Felony Intimidation of a Federal Officer and Resisting Arrest.

According to court documents, on June 24, 2025, Winters brandished a large knife and swung it back and forth at officers in an attempt to intimidate the officers when they engaged with Winters at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office in South Portland.

This brazen act of intimidation has left many in the community stunned, and has sparked widespread condemnation.

On August 20, 2025, Winters reported to the Pretrial Services Office after violating the conditions of her pretrial release. As federal law enforcement attempted to arrest Winters on a federal warrant, she resisted arrest by causing forcible contact with U.S. Deputy Marshals after the U.S. Marshals attempted to place the defendant under arrest.

Winters’ actions were met with swift and decisive action from law enforcement, who took steps to protect themselves and the community from harm.

The case against Winters is a stark reminder of the dangers that federal officers face on a daily basis, and the importance of upholding the law and maintaining public safety.

Winters will be sentenced in December 2025 before a U.S. District Court Judge.

These cases were investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Federal Protective Service, ICE, and the United States Marshals Service. These cases are being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Oregon.
