FBI Special Agent Bobby Gutierrez Named Freedom 250 Hometown Hero
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Oregon recognized FBI Special Agent Bobby Gutierrez as the Freedom 250 Hometown Hero on June 1 2026. The designation highlights local law-enforcement contributions to national security programs that train and support field agents across Oregon-based FBI operations.
foxnews.comPORTLAND, Ore., June 1, 2026 — The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Oregon named FBI Special Agent Bobby Gutierrez the Freedom 250 Hometown Hero.
The recognition, announced today by the Justice Department, honors Gutierrez for his service as a special agent in the Portland field office. Freedom 250 is a national initiative that identifies and celebrates local figures whose work supports the rule of law and public safety in their communities.
The award affects personnel and programs tied to the FBI’s Oregon operations, where special agents conduct counterterrorism, cyber, public-corruption and violent-crime investigations. The Portland field office covers the entire state of Oregon, a jurisdiction that includes more than 4.2 million residents and multiple federal facilities.
The designation shifts Gutierrez from line investigator to a publicly recognized representative for the 2026 Freedom 250 cycle. The honor takes effect immediately and remains in place for the duration of the annual campaign, which runs through the end of 2026.
Downstream, the selection requires the U.S. Attorney’s Office to incorporate Gutierrez into official outreach and recruitment events tied to Freedom 250. Federal agencies that partner with the FBI on joint task forces in Oregon must now list the honoree in year-end reporting on interagency cooperation.
The recognition also triggers local schools and civic organizations to schedule agent-led presentations under the Freedom 250 banner before the campaign closes.
This marks the latest individual honor conferred by the District of Oregon under the Freedom 250 program, which has recognized Oregon-based federal law-enforcement personnel each year since the initiative’s formal launch. The U.S. Attorney’s Office has used the platform to spotlight FBI agents, DEA investigators and federal prosecutors working within the district.
