Robert Jacob Hoopes Gets 30 Months for Rock Assault on ICE Officer at 2025 Portland Protest

Summary
A federal judge sentenced Robert Jacob Hoopes to 30 months in prison for throwing a rock that struck an ICE officer in the face during a June 2025 protest outside Portland's ICE facility.
Court records said the blow caused significant injury—the wound bled heavily, obstructed the officer's vision and required treatment beyond basic first aid; Hoopes had already pleaded guilty to aggravated assault of a federal employee with a dangerous weapon.
Hoopes also was ordered to serve 3 years of supervised release and pay more than $8,000 in restitution.
FBI investigators identified him through a photo run through commercial facial-recognition software, then matched a forearm tattoo to images from the protest.
The case is part of a broader Justice Department push against assaults on federal officers during protests tied to Trump's immigration policies, with recent clashes in Newark also leading to dozens of arrests.
