Musician and comedian Robby Roadsteamer was arrested outside an ICE facility during a protest in Portland, Oregon — while dressed as a giraffe — and the feds are explaining what led up to the bust.
Video of Robby’s Wednesday arrest went viral … it shows him singing outside a federal building in the city, alongside a bunch of protesters … when federal agents come out and grab him and take him inside.
Honchos at the Department of Homeland Security tell TMZ … “This deceptively clipped video features this attention-starved influencer who flew all the way from Massachusetts to trespass on federal property.”
The feds say, “Three times law enforcement officers told him to back up and step off federal property. He continued to disobey law enforcement and moved further on to federal property.”
They add … “Officers continued to warn him to back up. Following his repeated refusal to listen to law enforcement, he was placed under arrest.”
The officers in the clip have “POLICE” patches, but the Portland Police Department tells us the people in the video are NOT from Portland PD.
For his part, Robby says he’s going to sue over his arrest.
Stay tuned …
1:05 PM PT — Sources close to the couple tell TMZ they have NOT broken up and are just fine.
It’s over between Steven Tyler and his longtime girlfriend Aimee Preston … TMZ has learned the couple has called it quits on their relationship.
Multiple sources with direct knowledge tell us Steven and Aimee have broken up … though it’s unclear when they separated and what led to the split.
Steven hired Aimee as his personal assistant way back in 2012 … they started dating in 2014 but waited until the 2016 Oscars to go public with their romance, holding hands at Elton John‘s AIDS Foundation Oscars viewing party.
The exes made things work for over a decade despite a 39-year age gap … and Aimee was often by Steven’s side at Hollywood events, premieres, and the like.
But, it would appear the sweet emotions between them have come to an end … and it sounds like they are no longer crazy about each other.

Not part of the Throb Mob yet? Buckle up, ’cause Boy Throb — the TikTok viral boyband — will soon have your hearts throbbing too … but they want to make one thing crystal clear, telling TMZ they’re not satire … even if the full group hasn’t hit the stage together just yet!
Three of the four Throbbers — Evan Papier, Anthony Key and Zachary Sobania — chatted with TMZ Thursday fresh out of a Chase Bank … where they were trying to score a loan to cover visa costs to get their fourth member, Darshan Magdum, from India to the U.S. Yeah — that’s one big indicator of just how serious they are.

Their infectious, high-energy hustle to get Darshan — currently holding it down on Zoom — over to the States has sent them rocketing to viral fame. And with Grammy dreams already locked in, the guys insist they’re built to last.
As for the haters? The guys had some words — telling them to peep the harmonies, the vocals and the dance moves, stressing they “ain’t playing” — even giving us an epic performance of their original, catchy track, “Finger.”
Hit play on the full clip — the guys spill more on swatting away haters while chasing boyband glory, break down how it all started, and sound off on their rival group, the Shadow Baddies.
They preach unity — but LBR, they’re not truly complete until Darshan’s visa clears and he touches down Stateside. So yeah, catch the clip for the latest update … ’cause it looks like the throbs are pounding louder and louder!
