2020-07-18 at 12:12 PM UTCMayor of Portland to Trump: Get your troops out of the city
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The mayor of Portland demanded Friday that President Donald Trump remove militarized federal agents he deployed to the city after some detained people on streets far from federal property they were sent to protect.
Democratic Gov. Kate Brown said Trump is looking for a confrontation in the hopes of winning political points elsewhere. It also serves as a distraction from the coronavirus pandemic, which is causing spiking numbers of infections in Oregon and the nation.
Brown's spokesman, Charles Boyle, said Friday that arresting people without probable cause is “extraordinarily concerning and a violation of their civil liberties and constitutional rights.”
The ACLU of Oregon said the federal agents appear to be violating citizens' rights, which “should concern everyone in the United States.”
“Usually when we see people in unmarked cars forcibly grab someone off the street we call it kidnapping," said Jann Carson, interim executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon. "The actions of the militarized federal officers are flat-out unconstitutional and will not go unanswered.”
Federal officers have charged at least 13 people with crimes related to the protests so far, Oregon Public Broadcasting reported Thursday. Some have been detained by the federal courthouse, which has been the scene of protests. But others were grabbed blocks away.
“This is part of the core media strategy out of Trump’s White House: to use federal troops to bolster his sagging polling data,” Wheeler said. “And it is an absolute abuse of federal law enforcement officials.”
One video showed two people in helmets and green camouflage with “police” patches grabbing a person on the sidewalk, handcuffing them and taking them into an unmarked vehicle.
“Who are you?” someone asks the pair, who do not respond. At least some of the federal officers belong to the Department of Homeland Security.
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection said in a statement that its agents had information indicating the person in the video was suspected of assaulting federal agents or destroying federal property.
“Once CBP agents approached the suspect, a large and violent mob moved towards their location. For everyone’s safety, CBP agents quickly moved the suspect to a safer location,” the agency said. However, the video shows no mob.
In another case, Mark Pettibone, 29, said a minivan rolled up to him around 2 a.m. Wednesday and four or five people got out “looking like they were deployed to a Middle Eastern war.”
Pettibone told The Associated Press he got to his knees as the group approached. They dragged him into the van without identifying themselves or responding to his questions and pulled his beanie over his eyes so he couldn't see, he said.
“I figured I was just going to disappear for an indefinite amount of time,” Pettibone said.
Pettibone said he was put into a cell and officers dumped the contents of his backpack, with one remarking: “Oh, this is a bunch of nothing.”
After he asked for a lawyer, Pettibone was allowed to leave.
“Authoritarian governments, not democratic republics, send unmarked authorities after protesters,” Democratic U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley said in a tweet.
U.S. Attorney Billy Williams in Portland said Friday he has requested the Department of Homeland Security Office of the Inspector General investigate the actions of DHS personnel.
In a letter Friday, Oregon's two senators and two of its House members demanded that U.S. Attorney General William Barr and Homeland Security Acting Secretary Chad Wolf immediately withdraw “these federal paramilitary forces from our state.”
The members of Congress also said they'll be asking the DHS inspector general as well as the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate “the unrequested presence and violent actions of federal forces in Portland.”
“It’s painfully clear this administration is focused purely on escalating violence without answering my repeated requests for why this expeditionary force is in Portland and under what constitutional authority,” Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden said.
On Thursday night, federal officers deployed tear gas and fired non-lethal rounds into a crowd of protesters.
Wolf visited Portland on Thursday and called the demonstrators, who are protesting racism and police brutality, “violent anarchists.”
Wolf blamed state and city authorities for not putting an end to the protests. But Portland police said Friday they wound up arresting 20 people overnight.
At least two protests occurred Thursday night, one near the federal courthouse and the other by a police station in another part of the city. Police told protesters to leave that site after announcing they heard some chanting about burning down the building. Protester Paul Frazier said Friday the chant was “much more rhetorical than an actual statement.”
Portland Police Chief Chuck Lovell told reporters Friday that his officers are in contact with the federal agents, but that neither controls the others' actions.
“We do communicate with federal officers for the purpose of situational awareness and deconfliction," Lovell said. "We’re operating in a very, very close proximity to one another ... so it’s important for us to know if they’re going to take some type of action and it’s important for them to know if we’re going to take some type of action.”
The American Civil Liberties Union Foundation of Oregon on Friday added the federal government to a lawsuit it filed earlier to halt the use of crowd control measures, including tear gas and rubber bullets, against journalists and legal observers at protests in Portland.
“The lawsuit is one of many the ACLU will be filing against federal authorities in Portland for their unconstitutional attacks on people protesting the police killing of George Floyd,” the group said.
Tensions have escalated in the past two weeks, particularly after an officer with the U.S. Marshals Service fired a less-lethal round at a protester’s head on July 11, critically injuring him.
The protests following the police killing of Floyd in Minneapolis have often devolved into violent clashes between smaller groups and the police. The unrest has caused deep divisions in a city that prides itself on its activism and progressive reputation.

2020-07-18 at 12:38 PM UTCThings have gone way past acting in the best interests of American citizens, the modus operandi of the Right in the USA right now is pwning libs.
These goose stepping, brownshirt fucktards are frothing with hatred right now which makes them easier to manipulate than usual. They'll literally do anything their fearless leader asks them to.
No solid policies or direction, just getting people angry and focusing that anger at a common enemy. Kind of sounds like fascism. -

What trade and manufacturing has come back? The Lordstown GM plant in Ohio was shut down.he is fucking up China before its to late.
I can agree with this, maybe worded differently, but I agree nonetheless. China needs to pay their share. 2nd good thing👍🏻he is building a wall and trying to stop illegal immigrants. and reworking the rules for letting in everyone who passes the vetting process and returning the bad ones.
What are these exact rules he’s “reworking”?On December 17, 2019, acting Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection Mark Morgan stated that 93 miles of barriers has been built during the Trump administration; according to CBP figures, at least 90 miles of that replaced existing structures.
Yes, 3 miles is a lot😂he has let the nutters run wild so the rest of the folks wondering who to vote for can make a clear choice.
Not anything noteworthy.the ones wanting to get him out at all cost havent Triggered him so we know he has great control under pressure.
Of course he’s not triggered. He was thrilled about the turnout in Tulsa Oklahoma. Things are going so well, he fired his campaign manager😂he also just signed a bunch if orders to do away with tons of regulations so americans can make loot without being shut down by government regs.
Yes, regulations that go against climate change. Gotta love those science deniers!as I understand it he also just gave folks another 3 g's tax break from 12,000 to 15,000.
Really, never heard of this. Tell me more👍🏻I stay high so this shit may not be as well written as it should be.
I know the feeling😁I'm not gonna sober up to argue with a Nutter cuz that would be a double wast of time.
I wouldn’t want you to sober up. Party on👍🏻looks like Kanya is really gonna run so at least you nigga's don't have to vote for biden to not vote for trump.
He’s dropped out, try to keep up.its up to you to keep america free and our constitution in tact.
Why yes it is😁also I'm all for immigrants getting in office AS LONG AS THEY ARE PRO AMERICA, PRO CONSTITUTION AND INTELIGENT.
BUT ANY ANTI AMERICAN, ANTI CONSTITUTION, RACIEST, DUMBASS MORONS SHOULD BE REMOVED UNTILL THERE TREASONOUS ACTIONS CAN BE WORKED OUT IN THE COURTS.
Just your belief. Now we have 2 good things he’s done. Who’s got 3 more?
