ICE agents hold teens at gunpoint at Dutch Bros in Hillsboro

Updated: Oct. 20, 2025, 2:26 p.m.|Published: Oct. 20, 2025, 12:23 p.m.

A group of teenagers at a Dutch Bros Coffee in Hillsboro earlier this month was stopped at gunpoint by approximately 10 masked immigration agents and a police dog, according to local law enforcement records.

“Subjects in a white van and white truck exited their vehicles and pointed guns at the customers at the drive-thru window,” according to a dispatcher.

Baristas at the drive-thru took shelter in a restroom during the Oct. 3 incident, and Washington County Sheriff’s Office deputies and Hillsboro police responded to the scene. Police later confirmed the agents were with ICE.

The confrontation is an example of the Trump administration’s increased immigration crackdown in Oregon in recent months, which The Oregonian/OregonLive reported on Saturday. This month, ICE officers also pushed into a Gresham apartment where a 24-year-old woman and her 3-month-old baby were staying with her stepfather and brother. ICE agents drew their rifles at the family and arrested the stepfather and brother, even though they weren’t who they were searching for.



In Hillsboro, the teenagers who were stopped by ICE at the Dutch Bros Coffee told local police that it was the second time immigration agents had stopped them at gunpoint that morning.
