Portland Police Bureau On the evening of Sunday, October 26, 2025, the Portland Police Bureau (PPB) activated an Incident Command Team (IMT), which is overseen by a Crowd Management Incident Commander (CMIC). The CMIC managed numerous resources that included the Rapid Response Team (RRT) and Dialogue Liaison Officers (DLOs). DLOs, wearing white uniform shirts, act as liaisons to demonstrators. They are sworn officers with arrest powers, but their goal is to foster communication. PPB is also grateful for the assistance of Oregon State Police and Portland Fire & Rescue. Over the course of the night, PPB made two arrests tied to separate altercations involving demonstrators. The first person arrested was Jeremy W. Roberts, 44, of Lebanon.

U.S. Attorney's Office - District of Oregon PORTLAND, Ore.—An Italian man unlawfully residing in Oregon was sentenced to federal prison yesterday for his role in a large multi-state criminal conspiracy that stole more than $2.4 million dollars of benefits from hundreds of low-income and food insecure individuals and families.   Giovanni Spirea, 29, was sentenced to 24 months in federal prison and three years of supervised release. He was also ordered to pay $61,874.32 in restitution.   According to court documents, from August 2023 to October 2024, Spirea and his co-conspirators used electronic skimming devices to steal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, encoded the stolen data on cloned Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards, and illegally purchased items with the stolen benefits. Spirea shared stolen account information with other members of the organization, who, along with him, used the stolen benefits to purchase large quantities of infant formula...
