A Portland man was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison for throwing a rock at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer outside the agency's South Portland office. The sentence was handed down June 11. Prosecutors said the assault occurred during protests at the federal facility.
FBI investigators used facial recognition technology to identify the defendant as Robert Jacob Hoopes. He faced charges under federal law for assaulting a federal officer.
The 30-month term replaces any pretrial detention and will be followed by supervised release. The defendant must also comply with any restitution order issued by the court.
“A man accused of assaulting a federal officer during protests at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in Portland, Oregon, has been sentenced to 30 months in prison." The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Oregon will oversee compliance with supervised-release conditions. Any violation could trigger revocation proceedings that return the defendant to Bureau of Prisons custody. This marks the first publicly reported federal sentencing in 2026 for an assault on ICE personnel at the South Portland office.”
