An Oregon man has been arrested for plotting to kill US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Portland. Rayden Tanner Coleman,18, of St. Helens, devised an intricate plan that included beheading ICE agents and taking their severed heads as trophies, according to court documents.
Coleman was arrested by local authorities on February 4 and has been booked into the Columbia County Jail on $400,000 bail. The defendant was apprehended after the parent of one of his roommates reported his kill plot to the police, authorities said.
According to a probable cause affidavit obtained by KATU, Coleman allegedly planned to follow ICE agents home as they left the facility on Macadam Avenue and kill them. This included using night vision goggles to stalk their whereabouts and wearing camouflage clothing to blend in.
Investigators found Coleman in possession of surveillance equipment, tactical axes, military knives, shovels, and homemade explosive devices, including Molotov cocktails, which were located in his vehicle during his arrest. Coleman had also been making payments towards an AR-15, according to court documents.
