Car crash on I-84 involving deputy patrol car lands driver with DUII charge
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – After a Jeep slammed into a Multnomah County deputy's patrol car on Interstate 84 late Wednesday night, the driver was accused of drunk and careless driving.
According to law enforcement, a deputy had been conducting a traffic stop on the shoulder of eastbound I-84 near NE Cesar E. Chavez Boulevard when a 2018 Jeep Compass hit the patrol vehicle with the deputy still inside. Officials said the impact caused the Jeep to spin back onto the freeway.

Both the deputy and the Jeep's driver were taken to the hospital without serious injuries, while I-84 was shut down 'due to vehicles and debris strewn across the lanes of travel,' the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office reported.
Investigators said they found evidence that the driver had been drunk at the time of the crash.
When he was released from the hospital, deputies booked him for DUII and cited him for failing to maintain lane, careless driving contributing to an accident, and failure to install an ignition interlock device.
The MSCO vehicle, a fully-marked Chevrolet Tahoe SUV, was left with 'significant damage to the left rear corner,' officials said.

‘Things I can't replace': Homeowners reflect on Rowena Fire after losing everything
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – The Rowena Fire continues to rage in Wasco County, where winds are picking up and creating a challenge for firefighters while local residents reckon with the blaze's aftermath. Helicopters and planes have performed water drops between Mosier and The Dalles all Thursday to aid in the fight against the . READ MORE: Rowena Fire burning in Wasco County was human-caused, wildland officials say Among the devastation are several homes and cars along Highway 30 that are now completely leveled by the fire. One resident, Nick Grzych, showed KOIN 6 News that he lost everything. Where his house stood just days ago, he spent the day sifting through a pile of rubble, burnt metal, ash, and debris. That's all there is left of the home he shared with his son for five years. Grzych said he was visiting the coast with family when evacuation alerts began pouring in Wednesday afternoon. 'I got a Level 3 by the time I was in Cascade Locks, and by the time I hit Hood River, my neighbor called me and sent me pictures of what was going on,' he said. 'It was fast. It was really fast' KOIN 6 spoke with him as he saw the state of his property for the first time. 'I'm more sad about the things I can't replace, the pictures, some of my son's artwork,' he said. 'But the rest of it's just stuff. You know, you can buy more stuff. I'm sad about the missed opportunities of my son growing up here.' Oregon State Police and the Wasco County Sheriff's Office are actively on the ground today combing through the devastation to count the structures lost. At least 20 structures have been destroyed. 'We did everything we could to mitigate the fire danger, but fires don't care,' he said. 'I mean, there's nothing we can do. If I was here, it wouldn't have been any different. So, I'm just glad everybody was safe.' Portland man accused of sexually abusing developmentally disabled child for 7 years Grzych said while he always knew it was a risk living in the area, he never thought he would be impacted by the fires. 'Just kind of one of those, 'You never think it's going to happen to you,' but it's very real. It does,' Grzych said. KOIN 6 spoke with others who lost their home, including Floyd Barber Jr., who has lived in Rowena for 35 years. A barren landscape is all that remains in the area where his home once was. Barber, who just had heart surgery and sells raspberries at the Saturday market, said he and his family are still trying to figure out what they're going to do next without the aid of insurance. 'It's hard to swallow all this. It really is,' Barber said. Tialer Rundell escaped the blaze with his cats, a t-shirt and a phone charger, within minutes of devastation. 'My neighbor came across the street and he was pounding on the door and so I opened the door, and he said, 'There's a fire, we've got to go!' Rundell said. 'We got maybe a quarter of a mile away from the house or so and some of the flames were coming up the embankment, and so we had to drive through it, and so we couldn't see anything in front of us, and we could feel the heat through the car.' Thankfully, Rundell and his young boys are staying with his mother in The Dalles. 'Everything is replaceable. But could've been a lot worse,' Rundell said. There are currently GoFundMe fundraisers for both and . It remains an active fire zone. Wasco deputies say they've had reports of people stopping along 1-84 and other unsafe areas to walk into Level 3 'Go Now' evacuation zones. They are urging people to stay out of these dangerous areas for the public's safety and the safety of the multiple fire crews working to protect these properties. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

I outran ICE. Now I'm back on the streets looking for illegal work
When a black Jeep rolled into the Home Depot car park just after 8.30am on Friday morning, Abraham sprung into action. As Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) agents dressed in vests and helmets climbed out of their blacked-out vehicle, he did his best to warn his fellow illegal migrants camped outside the hardware store in search of work. 'La migra! La migra!' he screamed, before sprinting away from the scene. Dozens of people tried to follow him. 'I felt very scared when I saw them coming but I ran like a flash and they didn't get me,' he says. Like the 100 or so men who gather daily outside the DIY shop in Westlake, Los Angeles, that morning Abraham had been hoping to pick up a day's work from customers in need of help for their home improvements. Most of those he was standing with are undocumented. Nicaragua-born Abraham managed to escape but not everyone was so lucky. At least 40 men, some of whom had lived in the US for decades, were handcuffed and detained by ICE agents who had raided a string of workplaces and Home Depot locations that morning, sparking a wave of volatile protests which have gripped Los Angeles and spread to more than 35 other cities. Despite the pervasive threat of deportation, Abraham was back at the Home Depot parking lot on Wednesday morning to resume his search for work. The targeting of day labourers in Home Depots, workers at car washes and clothing manufacturers marks a gear change in the administration's attempts to ramp up its deportation efforts in order to fulfil Donald Trump's 'largest deportation program' in US history. While officials had initially focused their efforts on those with criminal records, Stephen Miller, the architect of Mr Trump's hardline immigration policy, instructed ICE field officers to begin widening their nets. Mr Miller has set a target of 'at least' 3,000 arrests a day, a steep jump from the roughly 660 daily arrests during Mr Trump's first 100 days in office. He is understood to have directed ICE chiefs to start targeting spots where migrants congregate, specifically naming Home Depot. It is a move that has drawn fierce opposition from not only Mr Trump's political opponents such as Gavin Newsom, the Democrat governor, but also from some of the Republican leader's supporters, with Florida State Senator Ileana Garcia, the co-founder of Latinas for Trump, saying the move was 'not what we voted for'. While demonstrations have brought parts of the state to a standstill, the ICE raids have continued at pace, with uniformed officers chasing farmworkers through fields and turning up at churches to arrest migrants. While the majority of migrants have stayed home amid the ongoing threat, Abraham, a father-of-two, who crossed the El Paso border with Ciudad Juarez three years ago, says he has no choice but to take the risk and continue his search for work at Home Depot. 'I'm not afraid to come... I have to work because if I don't work I can't eat,' he tells The Telegraph as he cools himself from the California sun with a pink plastic portable fan. Obdulio, another undocumented worker who managed to flee the Home Depot raid on Friday, had also returned on Wednesday despite seeing at least a dozen people 'grabbed' by ICE agents. The Guatemalan, who has lived in the US for 20 years, was frustrated he could not do anything to help his friends. 'You can't confront them because they're going to take you away, so what we did was shout at people to run and we kept running,' he says. Obdulio, 48, who did not want to give his last name, told The Telegraph: 'We are still in fear because we've heard ICE is still roaming here.' 'We're not criminals, we come to work honestly without harming anyone,' he adds. Standing on the other side of the Westlake Home Depot car park, Edwin Cuadra, who is from Guatemala and has a green card, recounted how he saw ICE agents arriving on Friday morning in his car's wing mirror. 'Those who don't have papers had to escape, they started running,' he says. The number of people out looking for work has since dwindled, he says, because migrants are terrified they will be caught. 'It's very bad,' he adds, becoming tearful. 'They are my brothers, like my family. They need the money to pay rent, to pay bills.' On the sixth day of demonstrations in Los Angeles, a largely peaceful protest of around 1,000 protesters briefly became chaotic when police on horseback charged at protesters and hit them with wooden rods before the area's 8pm curfew came into effect. Officers fired rubber bullets and pepper balls into the crowd before carrying out dozens of arrests and packing protesters into police vans, but the streets downtown were mostly quiet by 9pm. In recent days demonstrations across the city at times became violent, with some agitators setting fire to cars and throwing Molotov cocktails, fireworks and rocks at police. Some of the thousands of National Guard troops controversially deployed by Mr Trump despite governor Gavin Newsom insisting they were not needed have been assisting ICE officers as they round up illegal migrants on raids, standing by with their rifles as agents arrest and detain people. The 700 Marines sent into Los Angeles by Mr Trump will also accompany ICE agents on missions, officials have said, sparking fears that the administration could further intensify the pace of its raids. Mr Newsom has warned the unprecedented militarisation of the state would spread further. 'Democracy is under assault right before our eyes,' he said on Tuesday. 'California may be first, but it clearly won't end here.' The Department of Homeland Security released an Uncle Sam style poster on social media on Wednesday urging members of the public to report 'foreign invaders'. As ICE raids continued in spite of the protests, on Monday morning a Home Depot in Huntington Park, around eight miles away from the Westlake branch, was targeted. Eduardo Baz, 45, who illegally crossed into the US from Honduras 20 years ago, was lucky to have escaped. He had been a safe distance away when he saw federal agents starting to detain migrants in the car park at around 7.30am. The only saving grace, he says, was that it was early so not many people had arrived at the shop. On Wednesday morning he was one of a handful of migrants who had returned to the car park hoping to pick up work. 'Of course we're all afraid,' he says. 'All these years later, they can send you home in one swoop.' 'You're never calm, you're always afraid they might catch you at any moment.'
