(KATU) — FBI agents arrested a Portland man known as a "lifelong Quaker who is deeply committed to pacifism" on Friday. The suspect, Robert "Jacob" Hoopes, appeared in federal court Monday on charges of aggravated assault on federal officer, and damaging a federal building.
The charges against Hoopes, a recent Reed College graduate, stem from his alleged involvement in a violent protest at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) building in South Portland on June 14, 2025. At the protest, which Portland Police declared a riot, Hoopes allegedly threw rocks at the building, one of which struck an ICE agent in the face, causing a "serious" two-inch gash on the agent's face.
