PORTLAND, Ore.— In a shocking display of violence, Defendant 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.
The details of the incident are alarming, with Winters using a large knife to threaten federal officers. This brazen act of violence is a serious offense, and the guilty plea is a significant development in the case.
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 will be sentenced in December 2025 before a U.S. District Court Judge. The sentencing will mark the final chapter in a disturbing case of violence against federal officers. The guilty plea is a significant step towards justice, and the upcoming sentencing will provide a sense of closure for the officers involved.
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. The collaborative effort between these agencies has been instrumental in bringing Winters to justice.
The guilty plea and upcoming sentencing serve as a reminder of the serious consequences of violent crimes against federal officers. The case of Julie Winters is a stark example of the dangers faced by law enforcement officers and the importance of holding perpetrators accountable for their actions.
