ICE Detains Six Skyline Seven Suspects Upon Jail Release
EUGENE, Ore. — A major development has unfolded in the "Skyline Seven" burglary case as of Monday, October 20, 2025. Of the seven suspects arrested in a raid on an Eugene Airbnb, only Edwin Cadena Pineda remains in custody at Lane County Jail, with no release date listed. The other six, William Rodriguez, Robinson Camacho-Rodriguez, Jesson Quintero, Derinson Martinez-Grandas, Steven Quiroga-Solano, and Jhon Quintero, were released on bail between October 12 and October 20 and immediately detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) upon leaving the facility, according to a source within the Lane County Sheriff's Office. This swift federal action follows the initial arrests tied to a daytime burglary on October 6 at a Bethel-area home owned by Asian community members (Lane County Case 25-16245).
The case began when Eugene Police Department (EPD) investigators, using now-deactivated Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) technology, traced the suspects, a suspected multi-state ring of foreign nationals, to the crime and a related burglary in Salem. The October 9 SWAT raid on the 2400 block of Skyline Boulevard led to the arrest of all seven, along with the recovery of stolen goods and four vehicles. “In this particular investigation the ALPR technology was a critical investigative tool in providing a turning point to help solve this case,” said EPD Chief Chris Skinner in the initial press release on October 9, 2025. He added, “This is an example of how this technology can serve victims of crime in a more effective and efficient way.”
Under Oregon’s pretrial release guidelines (Senate Bill 48), the suspects underwent risk assessments, resulting in bail releases with conditions like no-contact orders and travel restrictions. Current jail records reflect the following:
The Lane County Sheriff's Office, adhering to Oregon’s sanctuary law (ORS 181A.820), did not assist ICE in the detentions, which occurred independently outside the detention area of the jail. The six released suspects face potential deportation proceedings, which could complicate Lane County DA Chris Parosa’s prosecution efforts. First-degree burglary charges carry 5-20 years under Measure 11, but with the suspects possibly transferred to federal facilities, extradition remains uncertain.
Chief Skinner emphasized the department’s focus in the October 9 press release: “The burglaries affecting Asian business owners and their families throughout Eugene and other Oregon jurisdictions has been a focal point for our police department and we are so pleased that we were able to bring this to a resolution.” However, the recent ICE detentions have left the case’s outcome in limbo, with the Asian American community, targeted in 21 similar burglaries since 2023, awaiting justice.
Edwin Cadena Pineda’s continued detention could lead to a solo trial, pending further court action. The investigation remains active. I hope to have an update or statement from the Sheriff tomorrow.
