A group of moms formed a human sheild to protect protesters in Portland, Oregon, and then federal agents launched tear gas at them.
over the last few weeks, federal agents have been allegedly violating protesters’ civil rights in Portland by infiltrating protests, escalating violence, and seizing and detaining protesters without probable cause. One protester told reporters he was dragged into an unmarked van and held in a federal courthouse for hours, before being released with no record of his arrest.
The Department of Homeland Security says their presence in Portland is necessary to “restore order.” Oregon Governor Kate Brown and Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler have publicly asked the Trump administration to stand down and remove the agents, who have been shown on video wearing green military fatigues with no badges or other identification, openly attacking protesters in the streets.
