National Weather Service meteorologists say the tornado touched down at the Aurora State Airport near Canby at about 3:45 p.m. Thursday. The Oregonian/ OregonLive reports the storm prompted a tornado warning for west Clackamas County until 4:15 p.m. Aurora Fire District Lt. Bill Hansen says two unoccupied planes at the airport overturned while others were blown around but not damaged. Hansen says glass greenhouses and an office building housing a plant nursery also were damaged and that winds snapped a large tree in half and downed several power lines. Molalla High School students stayed inside the high school during the storm, which delayed the school’s homecoming parade. Several protesters detained outside ICE facility PORTLAND (AP) — Authorities handcuffed several Oregon protesters who tried to block a bus from taking immigrants to a Tacoma, Washington, detention center. Dozens of protesters lined up Wednesday afternoon outside a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Portland. They blocked the entrance and exit for several hours while several activists linked themselves together. Federal Protective Services officers started arresting protesters at about 5:30 p.m. The agency has not said how many were detained. The Portland Mercury reported that six people were handcuffed — three members of the chain and three of their supporters. Videos showed Portland police placing hoods over the heads of protesters who were bound together. Portland police Sgt. Chris Burley said that was done for protection, because officers initially believed they needed spark-prone power tools to separate them. Burley said Portland police made one arrest, but it was not directly related to the protest. Judge Katherine Parker on Thursday to make James Gatto post $100,000 bond to keep his freedom. The judge instead continued the no-bail conditions set at an initial court appearance for Gatto following his arrest last month in Oregon. Michael Schachter, an attorney for Gatto, argued that prosecutors’ portrayal of his client as a “high-level executive” at Adidas was misleading because it suggested he’s wealthy. “Nothing can be further from the truth,” Schachter said, adding that his client is a married father of two who makes $139,000 a year as a marketing director. After more than 60 years, no Christmas parade in Springfield SPRINGFIELD (AP) — Springfield’s Christmas won’t include a parade. The event known as “The Oldest and Coldest Christmas Parade in Oregon,” has been kicking off the city’s Christmas season for nearly 65 years. But organizer Marilee Woodrow tells The Register-Guard there will be no parade this December, and it’s because of a lack of volunteers. Woodrow says potential volunteers started to call when they learned of the cancellation, but it’s too late. She hopes the parade can make a grand return in 2018. Adidas rep stays free without bail in college hoops scandal NEW YORK (AP) — A federal judge has refused to impose bail for an Adidas representative embroiled in a bribery scandal that has thrown college basketball into turmoil. Prosecutors in federal court in Manhattan urged Trial begins for Oregon man twice imprisoned for sex assault EUGENE (AP) — A Eugene tow truck driver who has twice served prison time for sexual assaults is again accused of attacking a female. The Register-Guard reports that a jury trial for 54-year-old Ricky LeVasseur began Wednesday. He is charged with single counts of first-degree kidnapping, sodomy and sexual abuse. He is accused of approaching a woman in November 2015 wearing a ski mask, pushing her to the ground and threatening her. The woman told police that he offered to let her go in exchange for oral sex. She fought back and said he touched her bare breast, but she was able to escape. LeVasseur’s attorney said text messages show his client was at home on the night of the incident. If convicted, LeVasseur could be sentenced to life in prison.

Erious Johnson Jr. sued Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum and other agency employees last year after learning he had been put under digital surveillance. The Oregonian/OregonLive reported Wednesday that the settlement was signed this month. Rosenblum and other defendants did not admit fault, and Johnson agreed to leave his job. “Erious has been a part of the DOJ team for over three years, and we are sad to see him leave,” Rosen- blum said in a statement. “It is both a personal loss and a loss for all of DOJ.” The racial-profiling scandal began two years ago, when DOJ investigator James Williams tested new software to search for poten- tial anti-government threats, and one Twitter hashtag he checked was #BlackLives- Matter. Johnson’s lawsuit said his Twitter feed was examined after Williams noticed a logo connected with the hip-hop group Public Enemy. The lawsuit said the logo depicts a black man in silhouette in the crosshairs of a gun, but the investigator mistook the man for a police officer and wrote to his supervisor that Johnson could be a threat. Williams downloaded Johnson’s Twitter history, generated a report, and sent it up the Justice Department chain of command. Rosen- blum fired Williams after his actions became public, but an arbitrator reinstated him with back pay. Attorney Beth Creighton, who represented Johnson, criticized Rosenblum’s agency for its handling of civil rights issues and the lawsuit: “Erious Johnson filed this lawsuit solely to fight that power and its abuse in order to hold DOJ accountable for this breach of trust.” The state also agreed to pay $70,000 to settle a suit brought by Nkenge Harmon Johnson, who is married to Erious Johnson. She alleged that she was improperly fired in 2014 as a spokeswoman for then-Gov. John Kitzhaber. After leaving Kitzhaber’s office, Harmon Johnson became president and chief executive of the Urban League of Portland.
