Inasmuch as I was once (long ago) “double sworn” as both a State peace officer & a Special Deputy US Marshal, let me answer that question:

The Special Deputation means that the “double-sworn” Portland officers can enforce BOTH Oregon & US federal laws.
It also means that the US Attorney will PROSECUTE violators, rather than the local District Attorney, IF there is any violation of federal criminal statutes.
AND
Tthe violators will be indicted/tried/sentenced in the US District Court.
(Trials in a US District Court have an over 90% rate of conviction AND the sentences levied upon conviction are generally FAR more harsh, than the sentence is in State/local courts.)

BAD NEWS for the RIOTERS, ARSONISTS, LOOTERS (& anyone else, who has a FEDERAL WARRANT out for their arrest): You will be indicted/tried in the US District Court & facing a US District Judge, who won’t care what the Portland Mayor wants..

And might have been personally offended that these people tried to burn him alive in his own courthouse.
