Federal law enforcement officers clad in camouflage uniforms and body armor — without any visible identification — have been using unmarked vans to grab and detain protesters in Portland. That’s according to reporting by Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB) on Thursday evening.
According to the report, the officers were predominantly sourced from the U.S. Marshals Special Operations Group and Customs and Border Patrol’s Tactical Unit (BORTAC). They were sent to the area with orders to protect federal property amid ongoing protests against police brutality. However, videos and witness accounts provided to OPB and several other news outlets show the officers detaining people who are not near any federal property and putting them in unmarked rental minivans.

Juan Chavez, director of the civil rights project at the Oregon Justice Resource Center, described the tactics to OPB as “stop and frisk meets Guantanamo Bay.”
The federal intervention was not requested by local government officials; in fact, Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler and other local government representatives have explicitly requested that federal officers vacate the city.

They don’t need no stinkin’ badges.

Trump has every constitutional right to protect the people of the United States. Especially, where the Rioters are attacking Federal property.
Most of these people are being surveilled at Federal properties, ID’d, and targeted as leaders of Antifa and BLM and snatched.
Then try them as terrorists. Send them to GMTO (GITMO)!
Send 'em all to Gitmo.
Because Homeland Security said they are Special Operations and Special Tactical Teams from Federal agencies.
These are training missions for feds or for terrorists
After the protesters were drained of their precious vital fluids they were fed PBJs and then released inside Disney World without a wrist bracelet, credit cards or money.
“Spare us your tears.”
Spare me your histrionics! I don’t like the shitheads either but snatching people of the street without identifying yourself as a police officer isn’t right. Do you really want that when the Progressive win?
That’s hilarious
No, I think these mangy, pond scum and immoral Kommies are staging these.
They are awfully short on details but, broad in accusation and the costumes of the presumed raiders don’t match nor does the reality of their interaction...
What you do is you stop rioting looting anarchy assaults and murder and stop waging war on innocent Americans?
You don’t want act like a human being? Tough!
We are gonna take you apart.
Yeah, they are staging it so well that they have been charged in federal court with serious charges. And we are all having a dream.
Get outta here.
The rest of us call them undercover cops!!!
They got “flashed” by the Men in Black.
Vendome as always been a od dude
If they chained them to the “It’s A Small World” ride they could probably file for cruel and unusual punishment.

I think they all need to be killed with extreme prejudice
