Annoyingly, this doesn’t specify what exactly is happening. But it sure seems like DHS filed a “motion to pretermit” the asylum application. Which it is doing in countless cases around the country.
There’s been a little reporting on this; there needs to be a bunch more. I’m working a piece myself.

Everything moves so fast now. It's impossible to give every event the care and attention it deserves, especially when the bar is "at least no one died."
But what happened in Portland outside the ICE building was evidence of yet another escalation—and a terrifying harbinger of things to come.
