Oregon woman stabbed to death in home with 5 children; suspect charged with murder
An Oregon woman was fatally stabbed on Saturday while her five young children were inside her home, police said. Neilyann Ysman, 24, was found dead with stab wounds at a home in Portland and the suspect in the case, 28-year-old S Mate Joseph, was arrested in Vancouver hours later and is facing murder charges, police said. Ysman's five children, who are all under six years of age, were rescued and were unharmed. Police used explosives to open a garage door to get to the children as they were unsure if the suspect was still in the house at the time, per Fox Carolina. Neighbor Julia Mannthey told the outlet she saw police rescue the children from the home, and she said she was heartbroken. "They just looked numb to the situation, like they couldn't process their emotions," Mannthey said. "Just so sad, I feel so bad for them." The Medical Examiner determined the cause of death as a stab wound and the manner of death a homicide, PPB said. Police did not say if the children were in the same room when their mother was stabbed. The deadly incident unfolded in the 6400 block of Southeast 143rd Court, about 9 miles east of Downtown Portland. Portland Police Bureau (PPB) said they responded to the scene at around 12:30 p.m. Joseph was tracked down and arrested by the Vancouver Police Department (VPD) just before 4 p.m. Joseph, of Battleground, was booked into the Clark County Jail on an arrest warrant for murder in the second-degree domestic violence and burglary in the first degree. According to jail records, Joseph also has open or pending cases including bail jumping, stemming from a failure to appear in court on a prior misdemeanor charge and two separate counts of driving with a suspended license. He also has charges for violating a domestic violence protection order, assault involving domestic violence, driving under the influence (DUI) and harassment in the context of domestic violence. It is unclear what Joseph's relationship to Ysman was and to her children. Another neighbor, Shawn Lioyryan, said she was rattled by the news. "It's scary, it's very startling," Lioyryan told Fox Carolina. "It is scary to see such a heavy police presence. It is a neighborhood where I ultimately feel safe. I don't see much police because it's not needed, so to see so much police activity is definitely alarming."

Portland police arrest 3 outside ICE facility after riot amid protest
PORTLAND, Ore. () — The area surrounding a Portland ICE facility is no longer considered a riot, Portland police announced shortly after 9 p.m., hours after their initial riot declaration amid a protest. In addition, police said they arrested three people, two of them for allegedly assaulting a peace officer in separate incidents. They added in one instance, a federal officer was injured but did not require medical treatment. This comes after hundreds of protesters gathered outside the Portland ICE building after a brought tens of thousands of demonstrators on Saturday afternoon. Federal agents deployed tear gas at the protesters gathered outside the ICE building, with some protesters appearing to breach the door of the building at one point as KOIN 6 News crews continued to monitor the scene. Shortly after 6:30 p.m., the Portland Police Bureau announced via a sound truck at the scene that the riot declaration was effective for the areas near South Moody Avenue and South Bancroft Avenue. They had warned people to leave the area by traveling north or they would be subject to arrest, citation or crowd control measures. In an update just after 8 p.m., PPB said they 'observed criminal activity including assault and criminal mischief' and would be making arrests. They warned people not to interfere. At around this time, officers made their first arrest of the night for assault of a public safety officer. Around 9:45 p.m., the Portland Police Bureau announced via a soundtrack that they were once again observing criminal activity and would be making targeted arrests, according to their account. Throughout Saturday night and into Sunday morning, officers remained on patrol at the ICE facility. Just before 11 p.m., officers arrested another protester after police said they saw them throwing a rock at the building. While making the arrest, officers said they were then pepper sprayed by another protester. That individual has not been located at this time, police said. The arrested protester is facing charges of first-degree criminal mischief, attempted assault of a public safety officer (two counts), harassment (two counts), interfering with a peace officer and third-degree escape. The final arrest of the night came at 1 a.m., when officers found a man at Southwest Macadam Boulevard picking up traffic control devices around the area and placing them in his truck. Police say he is facing charges of DUII first-degree theft. In response to the demonstrations at the ICE facility, Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin shared the following statement, largely condemning the acts: 'Portland rioters are violently targeting federal law enforcement and we won't sit idly by and watch these cowards. These rioters have launched fireworks, smoke grenades, and thrown rocks at federal law enforcement. A mob broke glass and forcibly entered the ICE facility. Thankfully, federal law enforcement was able to secure the facility. 4 officers were injured during the attack. Our officers are facing a 413% increase in assaults against them as they put their lives on the line to arrest murderers, rapists, and gang members. Secretary Noem's message to the rioters is clear: you will not stop us or slow us down. ICE and our federal law enforcement partners will continue to enforce the law. And if you lay a hand on a law enforcement officer, you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.' The continued demonstrations at the facility on South Macadam Avenue come after protests flared up across the country over federal immigration enforcement raids that began last week, as well as Trump ordering the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles, where protesters blocked a freeway and set cars on fire. Protesters had held a steady presence outside the facility throughout the week. There were also previously reported physical confrontations between protesters and federal agents. Additionally, federal agents deployed pepper balls and protesters allegedly engaged in vandalism, tried to start fires, and committed other crimes cited by the Portland Police Bureau. Portland police made 10 arrests on Thursday night and three arrests on Wednesday night. The tone of these protests after dark contrasted with the daytime activity at the ICE facility, which remained largely peaceful throughout the week. Additionally, were arrested by ICE on Thursday and earlier this month, ICE made four different arrests outside a Portland Immigration Courthouse. Two of those detainees were later after lawyers with the Innovation Law Lab filed a habeas corpus petition to challenge the arrests. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
