FBI Releases New Photos of Suspect in Eugene Federal Building Riot

The FBI has released new unmasked images of a suspect tied to the Jan. 30 breach and damage at Eugene’s Federal Building, and investigators are offering up to $5,000 for information that leads to an arrest and conviction. The bureau is betting that someone in Eugene or Lane County will recognize the face before agents do.

FBI materials say the incident unfolded at about 5:45 p.m. PST on Jan. 30, 2026, when an anti-ICE protest at the Federal Building in Eugene escalated into a riot. The bureau estimates 400 to 500 people took part. During the disturbance, rioters broke windows, spray-painted federal property and threw rocks at law enforcement officers.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is seeking information to identify people involved in the vandalism and destruction of government property. Along with the newly released images, FBI Portland has posted a separate civil-unrest wanted entry for the Eugene case, with downloadable materials and video clips intended to help the public identify suspects.

The damage has had lasting consequences in Lane County. Local reporting put the cost at roughly $200,000, and the Eugene ICE federal building was reported to remain closed indefinitely after the attack. That shutdown underscored how quickly a protest scene can turn into a public-safety and operations problem for a federal facility used in the region.

FBI Portland announced the $5,000 reward on Feb. 13, 2026, and is continuing to ask for tips about the people involved in the incident. The bureau’s public appeal centers on identification, not ideology: investigators want names, faces and details that can connect individuals to the breach, the broken glass and the spray-painted federal property left behind in downtown Eugene.

For Lane County residents who were near the federal building that evening, the new photos change the case from a broad disturbance to a narrower manhunt. The federal government is still trying to identify the people who entered the building, damaged it and turned a downtown protest into a riot that shut down a federal site and left a sizable repair bill in its wake.
