(1,951 posts)Just so they could arrest him for "trespassing". This won't even make it to court, but they don't care because it worked to get rid of him.

Robby is being brought up on trespassing charges and must appear in court in Portland, even though ICE dragged him onto their property! Roadsteamer's arrest came after clarinetist Oriana Korol was tackled and arrested while protesting with the Unpresidented Brass Band outside the same ICE facility. https://consequence.net/2025/10/robby-roadsteamer-detained-ice-portland/
He has a GoFundMe page to cover his legal expenses, as he will need to appear in court on the trespassing charge in Portland.
