flag A judge blocks most tear gas use near a Portland immigration center, citing health harms to nearby low-income residents.

flag A federal judge in Oregon has issued a preliminary injunction limiting federal agents' use of tear gas near a Portland immigration facility, ruling that repeated deployments have harmed residents of the nearby Gray’s Landing affordable housing complex. flag The order, by Judge Amy Baggio, restricts the use of chemical munitions unless there is an imminent threat to life, following claims from elderly, disabled, and low-income residents who reported respiratory issues, skin irritation, anxiety, and the need to wear gas masks indoors. flag The lawsuit, filed by the housing complex and its tenants, argues the use of tear gas violated their constitutional rights to life, liberty, and property. flag The government maintains its actions were justified in response to violent protests and that incidental exposure does not breach rights. flag The injunction will remain in place as the case continues.
