美国第九巡回上诉法院以2比1的裁决批准特朗普政府的请求，就两起案件下达临时行政暂停令。
反美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）示威者自6月起在该大楼外举行抗议，是全国范围内反对唐纳德·特朗普总统大规模驱逐议程的一部分。
两起诉讼针对联邦特工的人群控制策略提起：一起由俄勒冈州美国公民自由联盟代表抗议者和自由记者提起，另一起由ICE大楼对面经济适用房小区的居民提起。

投诉称，联邦特工使用化学和抛射性弹药侵犯了原告的权利——包括一名以穿着鸡装闻名的示威者、一对80多岁的已婚夫妇，以及两名自由记者，他们称联邦特工对他们使用了化学喷雾和抛射性弹药。
美国国土安全部此前表示，特工们”遵循了他们的训练并使用了保护自己、公众和联邦财产所必需的最低限度武力”。
本月早些时候，负责这两起案件的波特兰联邦法官均发布初步禁令，限制联邦特工使用催泪瓦斯、胡椒喷雾和其他化学弹药，除非有人对人身安全构成迫在眉睫的威胁。
特工还被命令不得向头部、颈部或躯干发射弹药”除非警官在法律上有正当理由对该人使用致命武力”，并被告知不得不分青红皂白地向人群喷洒胡椒喷雾，以免影响旁观者。此外，他们被告知只能针对从事暴力非法行为或积极抵抗逮捕的人，指出非法侵入、拒绝移动和拒绝服从疏散命令是消极抵抗行为，而非积极抵抗。

美国地方法官迈克尔·西蒙在3月9日 ACLU提起的案件裁决中写道：”原告提供了大量视频，这些视频被作为证据接收，明确显示国土安全部官员直接向最多仅进行消极抵抗的和平非暴力抗议者脸部喷洒OC喷雾，并向和平非暴力抗议者人群发射催泪瓦斯和胡椒弹。”
“被告的行为——在事先未给予疏散警告的情况下对抗议者和记者造成身体伤害——客观上令人寒心，”他补充道。
法官裁定联邦特工必须限制波特兰ICE大楼附近抗议活动中的催泪瓦斯使用
第九巡回法院小组周三表示，两起案件的口头辩论将合并，并安排在4月7日进行。
今年早些时候，波特兰市长基思·威尔逊在联邦特工在该机构大楼外向人群部署催泪瓦斯后呼吁ICE离开该市。市长称抗议活动是和平的，并批评联邦官员使用胡椒弹、闪光震撼弹和橡胶子弹。

“联邦部队部署了大量化学弹药，影响了一场和平的白天抗议活动，其中绝大多数在场人员未违反任何法律，未构成任何威胁，也未对联邦部队构成危险，”他当时在一份声明中说。
“致那些继续为ICE工作的人：辞职。致控制这个设施的人：离开，”他补充道，指责联邦官员”践踏宪法”。

An appeals court paused a pair of lower court rulings in Oregon that restricted federal agents’ use of tear gas and other crowd-control munitions during protests outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in Portland.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit granted the Trump administration’s request for temporary administrative stays in two cases in a 2-1 ruling.
Anti-ICE demonstrators have held protests at the building since June, as part of protests across the country challenging President Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda.
Two lawsuits were filed over federal agents’ crowd control tactics — one brought by the American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon on behalf of protesters and freelance journalists and another brought by the residents of an affordable housing complex across the street from the ICE building.
OREGON JUDGE LIMITS FEDERAL AGENTS’ TEAR GAS USE AT PORTLAND PROTESTS

The complaints argue that federal agents’ use of chemical and projectile munitions has violated the rights of plaintiffs — including a demonstrator known for wearing a chicken costume, a married couple in their 80s and two freelance journalists who said federal agents used chemical spray and projectile munitions against them.
The Department of Homeland Security has previously said that the agents have “followed their training and used the minimum amount of force necessary to protect themselves, the public, and federal property.”
Earlier this month, the federal judges in Portland overseeing the separate cases both issued preliminary injunctions limiting federal agents’ use of tear gas, pepper spray and other chemical munitions unless someone poses an imminent threat of physical harm.
The agents were also ordered not to fire munitions at the head, neck or torso “unless the officer is legally justified in using deadly force against that person” and were told not to use pepper spray against a group in an indiscriminate way that would affect bystanders. Additionally, they were told to only target people who were engaging in violent unlawful conduct or actively resisting arrest, noting that trespassing, refusing to move and refusing to obey an order to disperse are acts of passive resistance, not active resistance.

“Plaintiffs provided numerous videos, which were received in evidence and unambiguously show DHS officers spraying OC Spray directly into the faces of peaceful and nonviolent protesters engaged in, at most, passive resistance and discharging tear gas and firing pepper-ball munitions into crowds of peaceful and nonviolent protestors,” U.S. District Judge Michael Simon wrote in his ruling on March 9 in the case brought by the ACLU.
“Defendants’ conduct — physically harming protestors and journalists without prior dispersal warnings — is objectively chilling,” he added.
JUDGE RULES FEDERAL AGENTS MUST LIMIT TEAR GAS AT PROTESTS NEAR PORTLAND ICE BUILDING
The Ninth Circuit panel said on Wednesday that oral arguments in the two cases will be consolidated and scheduled for April 7.
Earlier this year, Portland Mayor Keith Wilson called on ICE to leave the city after federal agents deployed tear gas at a crowd of demonstrators outside the agency’s building. The mayor described the protests as peaceful and criticized federal officers’ use of pepper balls, flash-bang grenades and rubber bullets.

“Federal forces deployed heavy waves of chemical munitions, impacting a peaceful daytime protest where the vast majority of those present violated no laws, made no threat, and posed no danger to federal forces,” he said in a statement at the time.
“To those who continue to work for ICE: Resign. To those who control this facility: Leave,” he added, accusing federal officials of “trampling the Constitution.”
