Federal Agents Interfering with Emergency Medical Transport

I am alarmed by verified reports from Portland, Oregon, where federal agents blocked an ambulance transporting a patient from an ICE facility. Dispatch logs and incident reports indicate the ambulance was prevented from leaving, and the driver was reportedly threatened with weapons after the vehicle shifted slightly while in park. Interfering with emergency medical transport puts lives at immediate risk and violates basic public safety and law enforcement protocols. Ambulances must be able to operate without intimidation or delay, regardless of jurisdiction or protest conditions. I urge you to take this seriously and ensure that no federal activity in our state interferes with EMS operations or endangers patients, medics, or the public.
