U.S. Attorney Billy Williams said Friday he wants an investigation into actions of federal officers who have pulled Portland protesters off the street and into unmarked vehicles.
Federal officers with U.S. Customs and Border Protection have come under significant scrutiny after OPB first reported Thursday that they were involved in constitutionally questionable arrests in Portland.
The officers, along with employees of the U.S. Marshals Service and the Federal Protective Service, have had an increased presence in the city as protests over police brutality have continued for more than six weeks.
"Based on news accounts circulating that allege federal law enforcement detained two protesters without probable cause, I have requested the Department of Homeland Security Office of the Inspector General to open a separate investigation directed specifically at the actions of DHS personnel," Williams said in his statement.

Based on news accounts?
Prediction: They will find a federal judge who will issue an order restricting what DHS and federal mashals can do, and the "peaceful protesters" in black will be back.
Deep State panicking that their paid agitators are being taken off the streets, and can’t turn Portland into another Minneapolis.
Hopefully those grabbed causing mayhem are being processed at the local soilent green plants.

Appointed by Obama, renewed (for some unknown reason) by Trump in Nov 2017.
Who recommended that Trump renew this clown? Rosenstein? Sessions?
Forget it, Jake, its Portland.
“””””Williams received his bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from Washington State University in 1981 and his law degree from the Willamette University College of Law in 1989.””””
Seven years of college down the drain.
Where did Williams find the ‘case number’ for the arrests? The alleged ‘arrested’ rioter has no paperwork indicating an arrest, Miranda, or meeting a judge.
Detained, searched, questioned, and released quickly.
Not arrested, "detained."
Haha Bivens vs. Six Unknown Federal Agents again
The AG had better slap this Swamp Creature down...hard!
Maybe they wouldn’t have been so bold if Trump hadn’t of admitted this. Then enemy listens.
The AG had better slap this Swamp Creature down...hard!
Cheeseburger Barr? Do something? Bwaaaaa! Now that is funny!
“You can’t arrest us... we’re with Soros...”
These could be fictional events that they're using to try to make this against President Trump.
The claim of "caught and released" without charges smells. Who were these "victims"? Let them file suit and give false testimony on record.
