PORTLAND, Ore. — A Gresham man has pleaded guilty to assaulting a federal law enforcement officer with a dangerous weapon during a declared riot outside a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in South Portland, federal prosecutors announced.
Ginovanni Joseph Brumbelow, 22, entered a guilty plea Monday to one count of assault on a federal officer with a dangerous weapon.
According to court documents, the assault occurred on June 14, 2025, while federal officers were making an arrest during a riot at the ICE facility. Prosecutors said Brumbelow struck a federal officer in the back of the head with a wooden stake as the officer was attempting to arrest another individual.
A federal grand jury in Portland returned a three-count indictment against Brumbelow on July 15, 2025, charging him with assault on a federal officer, assault on a federal officer with a dangerous weapon, and civil disorder.
Under the terms of a plea agreement, Brumbelow pleaded guilty to the assault with a dangerous weapon charge and agreed to pay full restitution to the injured officer.
The charge carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison, a fine of up to $250,000, and three years of supervised release. Brumbelow is scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 19, 2026, before a U.S. District Court judge.
U.S. Attorney Scott E. Bradford for the District of Oregon announced the guilty plea.
The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Federal Protective Service. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Oregon is prosecuting the case.
