Woman Arrested While Playing “Ghostbusters” on Clarinet at ICE Protest
New Republic ^ | 10/15/2025 | Malcolm Ferguson

Federal agents arrested a Portland mother who was playing the “Ghostbusters” theme song on her clarinet at a protest outside an ICE facility.

Oriana Korol, 38, is a member of the Unpresidented Brass Band, which calls itself a “social action oriented, horn driven marching band,” and seeks to deescalate protest tensions. In a video of her arrest from Sunday, a federal agent can be seen violently dragging Korol to the ground, as two more agents come to his aid and her clarinet falls out of her hands.

She has been in Clark County Jail in Vancouver, Washington, since, and is still being held without bail.

This arrest is yet another example of the excessive, indiscriminate, and in some instances unlawful actions that the federal agents who’ve flooded American cities in the past few months have taken. On Tuesday, federal agents in Chicago violated a freshly minted temporary restraining order banning them from tear-gassing civilians, also gassing local police officers in the process.

The Portland Mutual Aid Network has called for Korol’s release, urging supporters to call the Clark County Jail.

“Oriana Korol was peacefully protesting ICE on 10/12 and was illegally detained by ICE and DHS,” their statement reads. “She is the clarinet player for Unpresidented Brass Band, and was playing music for protestors.

From the Full Circle Ecotherapy and Family Services web page...

Oriana Korol, LCSW - Relationship Centered Therapy for Youth, Families, and Adults.

"I believe we heal by connecting with others, nature, and ourselves.

I received my undergraduate degree in Earth and Environmental Science and worked as a Wilderness Therapy field guide and as a mentor at various nature connection and wilderness schools. In 2019, I completed my Masters in Social Work with a concentration in Children, Youth and Families at Portland State University. I continue to blend nature connection with therapy. In my free time, I track animals, listen to bird language and make baskets.

I have training and experience in working with foster, adopted, LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent youth.

I live and work on land that is the rightful homeland of the Clackamas, Cowlitz, Cayuse, Umatilla, and Walla Walla Native People who have always lived here and continue to do so. This land was forcefully taken by the U.S. government and continues to be occupied: it is held and sold as private property inhabited by and profiting settlers. I recognize my role in this settler colonial oppression and work toward unsettling this land."

It goes on...and on...and on.

In other words, she wants to abolish the United States and turn it over to Indian nations. Isn't that treason?

Very likely there is far more to this than written here.

Protest Bands.

Leave it to the violent idiots in Portland to add a brass band to their idiocy.

These protestors are breaking the law by causing a public disturbance and making excessive noise in the middle of the night. Everyone who lives nearby has complained that they can’t sleep and the police do their usual nothing. There have been several outbreaks of violence. This lady also likely resisted arrest which is why they had to throw her to the ground. When people behave like animals, they should be treated as animals.

To finish my thought, if she wants to “unsettle” this land, why is she welcoming millions of new “settlers” and opposing efforts to get them out? She’s a crazy fraud.

Sorry, I'm not buying that she was simply playing her instrument and she got arrested.

I'm guessing she did something to assault the officers in some way. They wouldn't have paid attention to her otherwise.

Par for the course for libs ... oh, American citizens are getting arrested ... then you find out they threw something at the officers or threatened them. ALWAYS.

Fauxahauntas yelled ‘Nobody needs a Clarinet that big!”
Just be glad she didn’t dare play
“Total Eclipse of the Heart!”

**Some instruments, such as Clarinets, Piccolos, Tubas and of course, Accordions were never meant to play as the lead instrument, with rare exceptions.

The clarinet probably made her do whatever...

It’s not her fault! C’mon man!

The water’s fine, but they do have some cavities between the ears.

Tell that to Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman, and Pete Fountain.

If she has a wallet chain, then, yes.

Obama made people think the government and laws they don’t like are a joke. They are not.
