PORTLAND, Ore. — Elizabeth Leslie, a 32-year-old Portland woman, has been charged with assaulting a federal law enforcement officer near the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office in South Portland. The incident, which occurred on October 18, 2025, saw Leslie lunging forward to strike an officer during efforts to clear a path for vehicles exiting the ICE facility.
Leslie made her first appearance in federal court yesterday before U.S. Magistrate Judge. She was released under strict conditions ahead of further court proceedings. The felony charge carries a potential sentence of up to eight years in federal prison.
This latest incident marks the 35th defendant charged with federal crimes at the ICE building since June 13, 2025, including assaults on federal officers, failure to comply, and depredation of government property. The U.S. Attorney’s Office has been actively pursuing justice for those involved in these offenses.
Elizabeth Leslie stands accused by a criminal complaint that is only an accusation; she is presumed innocent until proven guilty. Federal law enforcement agencies remain vigilant in their efforts to maintain order and protect the rights of all individuals within their jurisdiction.
This case serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing challenges faced by federal officers tasked with enforcing immigration laws, highlighting the risks they face on a daily basis.
