In October, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer grew
frustrated by a rCLkidrCY tailing his unmarked Ford Explorer on a motorized bicycle. It was 3:30 p.m. in Northeast Portland.

As the two approached Northeast 82nd Avenue, the ICE officer opened the
center console and pulled out his service weapon, he later told police.
He told a 911 dispatcher to send local officers or else he would take
matters into his own hands.

rCLI need someone here now, or else IrCOm going to have to shoot this kid,rCY said Israel D. Hernandez, according to a recording of his emergency call exclusively obtained by OPB.

Hernandez did not open fire. The suspect, who Hernandez described as
being in his late teens or early 20s, ended his chase and fled. The
suspect was not identified in records.

The Oct. 31 incident was detailed both in HernandezrCOs roughly 5-minute
call to dispatchers and corroborated in a Portland Police Bureau report completed later that evening.

When an OPB reporter this week called the phone number disclosed on the
911 call records, a person picked up the phone and said rCLHernandezrCY but hung up after the reporter identified himself.

Officials with the Department of Homeland Security did not respond to
multiple questions about whether they were aware of the incident or HernandezrCOs status in the agency.

A spokesperson for the Portland Police Bureau declined to answer
questions about the specifics of the case. The bureau acknowledged that
it does maintain regular contact with Homeland Security and other
federal departments but does not cooperate on immigration enforcement.

The exchange occurred during a tense period between the U.S. Department
of Homeland Security and the city of Portland. The Trump administration
had sharply ramped up its immigration enforcement that fall. Meanwhile,
the president was attempting to deploy the National Guard to the
embattled ICE facility in the cityrCOs South Waterfront.

Concerns about violence committed by federal immigration officers have
been particularly high in recent months.

A group of teens had been stopped at gunpoint by ICE officers at a Dutch
Bros in Hillsboro in early October, according to The
Oregonian/OregonLive. Then, in January, two people in Portland were shot
and wounded by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents and two U.S.
citizens in Minneapolis were shot and killed by ICE officers.

ItrCOs not immediately clear how the Oct. 31 interaction began. Hernandez self-identified as an ICE officer in the call. He later told police that
the suspect likely saw rCLgear with U.S. Immigration and Customs identificationrCY in his SUV. Hernandez initially thought he was going to
ask for money and waved him away.

rCLThe suspect started to yell at Hernandez about being rCyICErCO and started to punch the window of the vehicle,rCY Portland Police Officer Jason
Straub wrote in his police report.

When he called the 911 dispatcher, Hernandez said, rCLSome kid is punching
my window, and I need assistance right now.rCY

When a dispatcher asked why someone would punch HernandezrCOs window, he

A police record filed that evening lists an rCLunidentified personrCY as a suspect. Officers believed the suspect had also broken the SUVrCOs
side-view mirror by punching it during the encounter. Straub wrote there
was probable cause for second-degree criminal mischief and second-degree disorderly conduct charges, both misdemeanors.

Seconds after telling dispatchers he might open fire, Hernandez took an
goddamn window again.rCY

Shouting can be heard in the background as Hernandez rattled off passing intersections. His car approached Northeast 82nd Avenue and Northeast
Prescott Street.

rCLIrCOm going to have to act on this kid right now,rCY he told dispatchers. The dispatcher encouraged Hernandez to get away safely. She suggested he
go somewhere rCLhighly populated.rCY

At one point, an electronic chime breaks into the call, suggesting
Hernandez had opened his door while the SUVrCOs engine ran. He
acknowledged to the dispatcher that he was planning to get out of his
vehicle. The dispatcher interjected.

rCLWhy? You can drive away. We have officers en route to you,rCY the
dispatcher said. rCLI donrCOt want you guys getting into any more of a dispute.rCY

While some shouting can be heard in the background, Hernandez left the
call going while he stepped away from the phone. The call continued for three-and-a-half more minutes, records showed, before it disconnected. Hernandez didnrCOt pick up when a dispatcher tried calling him back.

Hernandez later told police who responded that the suspect said rCLIrCOm
going to kill yourCY to him before he fled the scene. Records show the
first officer arrived around 4 p.m.
