Wamsley said protesters have followed ICE staff members home and doxxed at least six employees.
"Later, towards the evening and around dark, there are a lot of folks that come up dressed in all black," she explained. "They are here to wreak havoc. They’ll block our cars, throw paint, damage property, and even try to follow our folks home."
She warned that when crowds swell quickly, the violence becomes more dangerous.

Fox News Digital has reached out to the Portland mayor’s office and police department for comment.
Still, Wamsley said ICE staff remain committed to their mission despite the unrest.
"The people that work here, are here to serve the American public," she said. "They are here to enforce the same immigration laws we’ve had in place since the 1950s. Nothing has changed in that regard. We come to work every day. We do our job the way we have been doing it, and we’ll continue to do that."

Todd Rignel, assistant special agent for Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in Oregon, said federal agencies are targeting Antifa-linked groups they blame for organizing much of the unrest.
"They’re not just facing HSI. They’re facing the FBI, ATF, DEA, IRS – all of these agencies," he said. "That’s a force to be reckoned with."
The comments come as Portland remains a flashpoint for unrest, with the ICE facility at the center of nightly confrontations.
President Donald Trump announced plans to send 200 National Guard troops to Portland to support immigration authorities. Officials said the troops would be stationed near protest areas.

The warnings follow an attack on an ICE facility in Dallas on Sept. 24. Authorities said two detainees were killed and another was hospitalized after a gunman opened fire before dying of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Investigators said shell casings recovered at the scene bore an "ANTI-ICE" message.
