## Caption

Portlander Jacob Hoopes recently began a 30-month prison sentence after pleading guilty to throwing a rock at a federal officer during a heated protest outside Portland’s ICE facility last summer. ⁠
⁠
The case played out amid a year of turmoil between the Trump administration and those critical of its actions, specifically its aggressive immigration enforcement tactics. ⁠
⁠
Though the government has cracked down on protesters across the country, Hoopes is among the few Portlanders to face prison time for their actions at a local ICE protest. His story is unique in other ways, too, including because of the strong network of support he has to help him through the next two and a half years, and beyond.⁠
