Oriana Korol, a clarinetist with the Unpresidented Brass Band, was in turn arrested after the man and federal agents barreled into band members who were standing across the street from the ICE office and playing the theme from “Ghostbusters.”
Korol appeared Wednesday afternoon in federal court in Portland after spending three nights in the Clark County Jail. The courtroom was filled with her supporters.
Federal prosecutor Katherine Ryyken called Korol’s alleged actions “violent.”

Kara Sagi, Korol’s assistant federal public defender, disputed Ryyken’s account.

Sagi also said she was disturbed by the three-day delay in Korol’s initial appearance in federal court. Another person arrested Sunday outside the ICE building and held in Clark County was in federal court on Tuesday and released.
“For whatever reason, she was not. That was a devastating blow both to her and her family” and unnecessary, Sagi said. Korol is a child and family therapist and has a young daughter.
Once in custody, Korol declined to waive her Miranda rights and speak with any federal officers before she had a lawyer.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Youlee Yim You granted Korol’s release pending trial, ordering her to remain away from a designated geographical area around the ICE building and to seek permission from a pretrial officer before any international travel.
