In Woodburn, Oregon, ICE detained at least 30 people on Thursday. Most of whom are the main breadwinners for the families, leaving women and children to fend for themselves. In Oregon as a whole, more than 200 people have been detained since Trump has taken office. It has also been noticed that ICE activity has increased since the government shutdown, instead of finding ways to help families that are going hungry.

From what I found this claim is likely true. According to the Statesman Journal, over 30 people have been detained by ICE in Woodburn, Oregon by the end of October. Another source, Koin, shares that at least 280 immigrants were detained in Oregon in October. Both sources are fairly unbiased but are both Oregon based and the people they interview may not hold unbiased opinions. Looking at other sources, most seem to quote the press conference for a farmer advocacy group. As for the people being detained being the main source of income for the families being affected, according to Forced Migration Review, a disproportionate amount of men are being detained.
