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.

“Keep your troops in your own buildings, or have them leave our city,” Mayor Ted Wheeler said at a news conference.

Democratic Gov. Kate Brown said Trump is looking for a confrontation in the hopes of winning political points elsewhere and to serve 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.”

Trump should make a simple announcement stating that since the people of Portland do not want federal assistance to bring order to their city, the federal government is abdicating any and all responsibility for that city.

Furthermore, Trump predicts that Portland will resemble Detroit in less than five years.

Then just shut up. Stop yakking.

If antifa are terrorists, then they can be treated as terrorists. Are we not in a state of emergency?

The President might have been better served to simply watch the city burn itself to the ground and refuse to provide federal money for reconstruction...

IAC, only the "federal protection police" need to stay on federal facility grounds... These guys were deputized as special agents and can exercise authority in any jurisdiction in the U.S.

Simply stole and implemented some of obunghole's plan...

He has done something. He is working with the Chinese and others to allow and foster this to happen. Just a guess.

Trump should let them rot. The people voted for this sh!t, let them wallow in it. This will only be used against him.

Trust Donald J. Trump.

“The President has no law enforcement authority in any state without declaring a state of insurrection or rebellion (or invasion).”

He does have the authority to protect federal offices and facilities. But he cannot have federal agents or assets go out on the streets and arrest people unless they are breaking a federal law.

They are released without charges. They should at least have identification. I’d be pissed if Obama did this.

Thank you President Trump for sending much needed help!
We also need you to arrest the mayor, the governor and the 2 dipshit, senator who have been illegally running the state through bogus mail in voting. These people are all enemy combatants owned by the deep state.

“He should be forced from office“

He is carrying out the will of his citizens.

Face reality. The insurrection act confers all authority necessary. Oregon is in a state of rebellion. Declare it, or STFU.

I grew up in New York city, in AOCs district by the way. I Don’t even recognize it today, I can’t even imagine the hell it is to live there or in any leftist controlled city. Remember the story yesterday of the punk bashing in the heads of 2 cops with a bat? It was a she, and she is back on the street already. Attempted murder of TWO police officers in New York city and she is out and that was no freakin’ “cane”.......

Wheeler and Brown are collaborators with the violent horde. They are enabling the lawbreaking.
