Federal officers stalled and threatened a Portland ambulance crew taking an injured protester from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility to a hospital on Oct. 5, Willamette Week reported Monday.
American Medical Response employees made those claims in internal incident reports, Willamette Week wrote. The documents detail a heated exchange at the South Portland building, with one federal agent threatening to “shoot and arrest” one of the medics, the medic wrote in a report obtained by Willamette Week.
A representative for the union representing the ambulance crew confirmed the allegations to The Oregonian/OregonLive.
Look at it from ICE workers perspective. They want everybody who is not part of the white supremecist vision in a camp or dead and medics are actively undermining their goals.
