He is a US Citizen and a minor. Very sad and I hope he gets back home soon and the kidnappers are held accountable.
Otis
OK, this is just flat out kidnapping - with no hearings or info about where this kid is being detained.
It's racist...and it's physical/psychological torture.
This is un-American.
Be in front of the Library from 12-2pm Saturday to make your voices heard.
NO MORE!!!!!!!
Otis
We'd also like to hear about the fatal house fire in Gaston.
Otis
Sorry...that's 10am to 12pm tomorrow at the library.

This should outrage everyone in Yamhill county! This is clearly a violation of this man’s rights, and false arrest (kidnapping?). They obviously have no probable cause to detain this young man. Does ICE even know who they are looking for?
The criminal gang in this action are the ICE agents!
I hope legal action is taken by the victim…. But that’s an uphill climb.
WillieG
There are always two sides to every story. I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that law enforcement didn't just detain this kid at random, nor was he profiled against. Would love to read an update of law enforcements account.
tagup
The Oregonian reported that ICE released him after 5 hours…. So he isn’t in the country illegally.
How would you feel if a bunch of masked & armed guys. rolled up on you, damaged your vehicle, hauled you off to Portland then cut you loose a couple hours later to find your own way home?
ICE is the problem and there is no accountability in their actions . What explanation from ICE would make this approach to law enforcement acceptable?
Bigfootlives
The NR is a team of hard core conservative journalists compared to the Oregonian. The have an agenda to sell and the push it in every report. The kid was released, we are missing 80% of this story and it’s not being told on purpose to piss YOU off!
tagup
The facts are undeniable ….ICE is the problem even if YOU refuse to believe it.
m or s
Local police response if a white kid is kidnapped in broad daylight by masked goons: all points bulletin with car model and year, license plate, description of kidnappers, multi-state amber alert to cell phones, local police press releases and press gatherings, city police, county sheriffs office, state police and possibly fbi all working together to find the perpetrators of this crime and find the child before further harm occurs.
Local police response if a brown skinned child is kidnapped: nada, nothing, zero.
Lakegirl
M orS is right, it's the skin color. I'm so disgusted with all of Yamhill County. You people have no humanity. There would be outrage if he was white, like there always is. No community outrage for brown skin kids. Absolutely appalling that you people can sleep at night. Apparently Yamhill County supports kidnapping as much as it does human trafficking. I sure hope you know where your kids are because it would be really tragic if they ended up on a container ship and sold to a pedophile in Thailand. Karma is real.
Bigfootlives
OK Tag. The facts are undeniable. The facts that we know are that he was grabbed by ICE, held for 5 hours, and released. Please fill us in on the remaining undeniable facts.
For the last 4 or 5 years, I bellyached about the 15 million illegal immigrants that poured over the southern border and said that it was going to create a nightmare. I didn't know it would create this, but you could pretty much fill in the blanks with 'nightmare'. And most of the regular commenters on this site, you included, Tagup, laughed it off, and saw no problem with the human trafficking, the little kids dying in the desert, the rape trees. You think I like this? It's a shit sandwich. What does it taste like? You couldn't see this coming? Are liberals that damn dumb? F Me!
tagup
I hope you didn’t pull a muscle with that reach!
So we should expect our own government to snatch up US Citizens, haul them out of town, then, when they find out they are legal, dump him on the streets and let him figure it out. Is that really ok with you?
Your dear leader said he was going after drug dealers & rapists…. Appears his crack team @ ICE are pretty consistently missing the mark.
Your only response is we should have seen this coming? Apparently the Constitution and basic human decency mean nothing to you.
CubFan
There are two sides to every story.
Otis
This was a Kavanaugh stop....and ICE isn't arresting white kids. It's terrorism. They want to make brown people afraid. This isn't about catching criminals.
Otis
Also, where are the pics from the protest yesterday?? KGW was there and they put it on TV. I didn't see you guys covering it.
Any news about the house fire that killed a citizen?
B
In a statement to KOIN 6 News attributed to ICE Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin, the agency said the then teen was arrested with a 20-year-old for “impeding federal law enforcement officers.”
The statement said Border Patrol agents in Yamhill County were followed for several miles by a Chevy Tahoe that “colluded” with a Ford F-150 “to barricade the agents, preventing their movement and obstructing them.”
Border Patrol agents called ICE for help and when ICE officers arrived, the Ford F-150 took off. But federal agents went up to the Chevy Tahoe and arrested the 20-year-old driver.
Otis
Yep...I totally believe the ICE agents. Sure.
Just like when they shot that woman in Chicago they said was a "threat".
tagup
Cub- There are indeed two sides to every story, but this type of story keeps repeating itself across the country and has a pretty consistent pattern. The masked agents that won’t ID themselves , unmarked vehicles, breaking out windows, unnecessary force while making questionable arrests,snatching people off the street. There is a big problem with the fed tactics that every citizen should reject.
Bigfootlives
Driving a crash car ramming federal agents. I thought he was running down to little ceaser’s? I’m sure that’s what you meant by the evidence was obvious.
A country WILL NOT SURVIVE WITH OPEN BORDERS.
I give you exhibit A. Start at the top of this article and read to the bottom.
B
Think the News Register missed an opportunity to provide a more balanced article. KOIN 6 provided one. everyone reading the NR article (including me) comes away with the idea this was a case of racial profiling. Now it seems that might not be the case. The information on the alleged vehicles involved should be able to be investigated at least.
Mot
The anti-Semitic, globalist, pro open borders, defund the police, release the criminals to the streets, pro MASKED antifa destroying the livelihoods and businesses of the law abiding hard working none government hand out citizens who have paid their taxes to help the impoverished in this country and around the world,( could go on,) CROWD, on this NR site, wastes no time to jump on anybody that is supportive of enforcing the laws of the constitution of the United States and Oregon without knowing the facts. If it's a fact, and don't like it,they twist it. Just look at the liberal media. Sanctuary state status is just another threatening step closer to full government control over the USA and legal citizens lifes. Just like the social communist authoritarian jihadist governments of the world.
Get right with the good Lord,YAHWEH, the author of the historic history written prophetic Bible who granted us direction, rights, Freedom of religion,opinion,speech,free will and choice in this country provided through our founders that followed God's Direction directly from the Bible. God has granted us freedom of choice.
Be careful what you choose. Someday, we all will be on trial. Come to Jesus moment is upon us. Literally.
Love to all. Reconcile.
CubFan
Could it be that the very thin NR staff reported Friday what was known at the time? Then the reporters were on a weekend of well-deserved time off. Then on Monday, when more facts are known, we'll see an update? It'll be interesting to see more facts when they are known. Meanwhile, I fully suspect that some people will only believe what they want to hear.
Ron
Wow Tagup talk about pulling a muscle. You’re probably in need of a cast or physical restraint. You seem pretty sure of yourself facts are undeniable ! Do you have the law-enforcement reports? Possibly the poor kid was running around with some bad actors. Open your mind ! If this is a white kid you wouldn’t even bring it up. That’s for sure. You’re funny two sides of the story, but you only know one yours. Thanks to your dear leader from the past four years who welcomed millions of illegal aliens and anybody else into the country not just your perfect little child poster boy.
Maybe you’re the president of UNIDOS that could be your only excuse one side tag! Can you take Otis to therapy with you, please. he still hasn’t figured out the house fire thing. Just a thought you should both should try football on the weekends, much more healthy than you two trying to save the country.
Otis
Since KGW did their video report on the protest Saturday, this story has now made national news. The Mac HS kids walkout and protest on Monday even got shown on Rachel.
madmacs
ICE has repeatedly accused others of doing similar things only to have the federal DA's drop charges due to lack of evidence, or in many cases evidence contradicting the ICE narrative. The charges against the woman they shit five times in Chicago were just dropped due to a lack of evidence, conflicting stories from ICE, a suspected attempt to alter evidence, and statements by the shooter that came to light during evidentiary hearings. There is a very good chance that this is just more of the same from ICE and the boy involved will never be charged. The hiring standards for ICE are far below any other law enforcement agency, and the training the agents receive is minimal; Couple that with management that is overtly hostile to the rights of a sizable portion of the US INCLUDING CITIZENS, and you have a tragedy waiting to happen.
Ward
The Pro crime community on this NR site are sick! It's always the same bunch.
I suppose you guys are celebrating the 2 courageous National Guard members shot and killed today by Afghanie plant. How does your consciousness process Charlie Kirks murder. All in the name of the communist Revolution in America.
America first not the rest of the world. Sorry about that.
Ditto Bigfootlives, Ron and Mot!
Ward
Oh I forgot by the way flags half-mast tomorrow! If you have any respect.
Ward
Apparently a conflict of reporting. Prayers for the shot attempted murdered but still alive National Guard members.
God's blessing and Thanksgiving for their recovery.
treefarmer
What a series of troubling comments. “…..Pro crime community….?” “……celebrating” the heinous attack on our National Guard patriots? “…..communist Revolution in America?” Fellow commenters are “sick?” Is that how support for the Constitution is being parsed in an alternate universe now? Could it be that the real goal is to twist, demonize, and disparage anyone who doesn’t share your opinion? Seems quite counterproductive if we are ever to live together in peace again.
My prayers are also with our fallen patriots, and I post wishes for everyone to enjoy a safe warm Thanksgiving day with family and friends, ever mindful that gratitude enriches the soul.
mikes
Ward. Are you interested in America at an experiment to refuse to be be run by a king and the rich Nobility, but to be be run by we the people? Just as Charlie Kirk talked about free speech and said things I did not agree with, I agree with his right to say them. Just as I agree with your right to say what you are saying. I sadness me that what you are saying is accusatory and and seems decisive. Are you interested in an America where we can disagree yet still be respectful to one another?
Loretta
Why pray tell, is our taxpayer paid school administration taking part in this “protest? And his was this an excused absence? Someone please provide accurate answers.
Loretta
And FYI no kidnapping took place. Seriously people…

Big deal if he did impede law-enforcement. Cuff him and stuff him figure it out and then let him go later onFriday. How would ice or any other agency know without taking him in? Kidnapped comments, are laughable as well as the people using the term. If you get a DUI as a US Citizen In Yamhill County or anywhere else, they cuff you and stuff you the same way.Are they kidnapping you I think not.I thought they were saving lives on our Roads & highways, is that kidnapping also Tagup ?? Arguments I predict coming my way.So you’re right Tag & Otis they don’t wear masks. But local law-enforcement are not being hunted down, with photos and addresses,posted on social media and even website where they live and mentioning Children and their family members like the Ice Agents are. As far as the 350 students walking out of school. Hopefully we will find out from the news register Or Ferrua if these were excused .wonder if the news register will get the information from the school district if these were excused absences? I doubt it ! Kourtney Ferrua should have an immediate press release.I’m also guessing a few of the protesters didn’t even know why they’re out skipping school.Sadly ICE missed one in Washington DC. Now we have an Afghan national that has murdered one of our service members and injured another critically. I wonder how the News Register will report this and will they even mention where he’s from? I also wonder if we already have a Oregon delegation or some Squad members ready to fly to DC with all the lawyers ready to protect this individual Like they did Garcia??
Again I now wonder if Chris Van Hollen ,Tampon Tim as well Maxine Dexter and Bubba King are already making travel arrangements to save this killer and protect his rights? Probably hoping for more free travel and Logging paid for by others. More ICE Thanks to Biden we still have 9999 afghani’s alone in our country. Did they fight the Taliban for us or join them? Have to wonder.
tagup
Haha…I spent the week out of town..
Have you been thinking about me all this time Ron?
I guess I really am livin rent free….but the space is pretty small.
Ron
Good morning, tag up
Maybe a little, but not the whole time you were gone. I only read these comments during the week.
Anyway, I hope you had a good time with family and friends and a great Thanksgiving.
Ron
Good information!
Sad turnout for the County and or the state for sure.
Looks like there are a very few people that care enough to take the time to vote. At least I vote every election so I can complain about it. All in fun win or lose! I still think the rec centers a stupid investment for McMinnville and way overpriced to get the job done. It’s great for a very few kids great for a very few families.A small fraction of the city uses the pool. I’ve walked by it for 40 years looking in the windows.We could get by with half the money and have a nice facility for these people. Not McMinnville heather Richards and Company gotta have the biggest baddest thing available. I still wish all the folks that voted for this would move to Lake Oswego since they like paying huge taxes might as well live in the middle of it. Not McMinnville.
ALLCAPS
PICK YOUR BATTLES AND MAKE DARN SURE YOU ARE ON THE RIGHTSIDE.THERE IS ALWAYS ALOT OF FALSE INFO OUT THERE.
