A Portland woman has been charged with assaulting a federal law enforcement officer near a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office in South Portland. Oriana Korol, 38, has been charged by criminal complaint with the felony offense of assaulting a federal officer.
According to court documents, on the evening of October 12, 2025, federal officers detained Korol after she interfered with an arrest of another subject. Korol kicked and bit a federal officer as she was being detained. Officers then arrested her for assaulting a federal officer.
The incident is the latest in a string of violent encounters near the ICE building. Since June 13, 2025, the United States Attorney’s Office has charged 34 defendants with federal crimes for offenses committed at the ICE building, including assaulting federal officers, failure to comply, and depredation of government property.
Korol made her first appearance in federal court before a U.S. Magistrate Judge. She was released on conditions pending further court proceedings. The charge of felony assault of a federal officer is punishable by up to eight years in federal prison.
A criminal complaint is only an accusation of a crime, and a defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty. The case against Korol will continue to unfold in the coming weeks and months as the court proceedings move forward.
The United States Attorney’s Office is taking a strong stance against violent crimes committed against federal officers. The office has made it clear that it will prosecute to the fullest extent of the law those who engage in such behavior. As the investigation into Korol’s actions continues, it is likely that more details will emerge about the events surrounding the alleged assault.
The community is advised to remain vigilant and to report any suspicious activity to the authorities. The safety of federal officers and the general public is of utmost importance, and any threats to that safety will be taken seriously. The case of Oriana Korol serves as a reminder of the importance of respecting the law and the officers who enforce it.
