Case Summary

This lawsuit was filed on July 22, 2020 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon by four individual plaintiffs represented by the ACLU Foundation of Oregon and private counsel. The complaint arose out of the protests that followed the police killing of George Floyd in May of 2020.

This lawsuit was filed on July 22, 2020 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon by four individual plaintiffs represented by the ACLU Foundation of Oregon and private counsel. The complaint arose out of the protests that followed the police killing of George Floyd in May of 2020. After Mr. Floyd's killing protests broke out across the country condemning what happened to Mr. Floyd, police brutality, and racial inequality more generally. While the protests were mostly peaceful, there was some violence and property destruction at certain protests. By mid-July, President Trump deployed federal law enforcement against protesters in Portland, threatening to do the same in other cities as well. These law enforcement agents had neither their own names nor agency names attached to their uniforms.

The four plaintiffs in this case were all individuals with medical training who were using that training to assist people injured during the protests. They brought suit against the City of Portland, one named Portland police officer, sixty unnamed Portland police officers, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the U.S. Marshals Service, and forty unnamed federal law enforcement agents. The plaintiffs alleged that the defendants were engaging in behavior that violated the First Amendment by having a "chilling effect" on the plaintiffs' speech. Furthermore, they alleged that the defendants' use of chemical weapons, semi-lethal projectiles, and riot batons against peaceful protesters represented excessive use of force in violation of the Fourth Amendment. Finally, the complaint asserts that the federal defendants were acting arbitrarily and capriciously in using anti-protest tactics, thereby violating the Administrative Procedure Act. They sought injunctive relief and declaratory relief. They also sought compensatory and punitive damages, and attorney's fees and costs. Two days after filing the complaint, the plaintiffs filed a motion for a temporary restraining order against the federal and municipal defendants.

The case was assigned to Judge Karin J. Immergut.

Before the court held a hearing on the motion for a temporary restraining order, the federal defendants announced an intention to reduce their presence in Portland. Shortly after, the plaintiffs filed withdrew their motion.

On August 21, the plaintiffs submitted a second motion for a temporary restraining order against the municipal defendants and order to show cause as to why a preliminary injunction should not be entered against the municipal defendants. On September 2, 2020, Judge Immergut issued her ruling. 2020 WL 5231486. She denied the motion, finding that the the plaintiffs did not allege sufficient facts and legal support to warrant specialized treatment for protest medics. She also held that the TRO was unworkable in practice, given the chaotic circumstances of the protests and that the line between protest medic and protester was not sufficiently clear.

On May 15, 2021, Judge Immergut dismissed plaintiffs' claim for equitable relief against federal defendants sued in their official capacity. 539 F.Supp.3d 1132. The court held that it lacked jurisdiction to hear these claims for lack of standing and mootness. But the court's opinion did not extend beyond the plaintiffs' claims for equitable relief; their Bivens action for damages was not at issue. First, regarding standing, the court held that plaintiffs lacked standing to pursue prospective relief because they did not plead facts showing that the harm (intentional targeting and retaliation of protest medics at the hands of federal defendants) was certainly impending, or that there was a substantial risk the harm would occur. Second, even if the plaintiffs did have standing, changed circumstances rendered plaintiffs' equitable claims moot. Plaintiffs' equitable claims were based largely on the public statements of Trump Administration officials, but those claims were mooted by the election of President Joe Biden.

Plaintiffs responded the May 15 dismissal by filing an amended complaint of November 5. They removed John Doe officers rom the Portland Police Bureau, DHS, the U.S. Marshal service, and John Doe officers from the federal government. But it added a detective with the Portland Police Bureau. Plaintiffs also removed their claims against the federal defendants.

This case is on-going as of May 1, 2022.
