Viral Portland arrest was not by secret police, but by Trump's new PACT Force
The Western Journal ^ | July 18, 2020 | Jack Davis

Arrests of some protesters and rioters made by federal authorities in Portland, Oregon, including one arrest caught in a video that's gone viral, are the work of a new federal task force, according to a published report.

The task force has its roots in a June 26 executive order from President Donald Trump titled, “Protecting American Monuments, Memorials, and Statues and Combating Recent Criminal Activity," a July 1 Department of Homeland Security news release said.

In response to the executive order, Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf announced the DHS had established the Protecting American Communities Task Force.

“DHS is answering the President’s call to use our law enforcement personnel across the country to protect our historic landmarks,” Wolf said in a statement. “We won’t stand idly by while violent anarchists and rioters seek not only to vandalize and destroy the symbols of our nation, but to disrupt law and order and sow chaos in our communities.”

The release said the PACT will "conduct ongoing assessments of potential civil unrest or destruction and allocate resources to protect people and property."

Oh it wasn’t secret police, it has a different name. The PACT force. Good thing, that.

He and his kind will certainly be their bit@@ for years, and then they can remember their so called brave attack on a monument or throwing a brick at the police . I’m sure those groups including the NAZI low riders are waiting in anticipation for their new slaves

This is the feds we are talking about so they can have them arraigned in Puerto Rico or Guam.

The feds do not screw around like the city of Portland and the state of Oregon does.

Finally we have a leader with balls enough to enforce the laws and not protect the criminals.

Go Trump.

I don’t know how to post the original video, but this link from twitter is hilarious. Someone put the DHS cleaning up Portland to “Rawhide.”

Great video showing the Antifa Scum being herded off the streets of Portland. All most 2 minutes of enjoyment watching the Antifa pussy’s retreating on the streets.

Help an old man to translate this.

Are they clearing the airways for Homeland Sec forces to remove A$$holes from Portland to Gitmo or whereever.

Drop a few of these pantifemmes into Federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison and the message will get out that much quicker.

They may actually volunteer to get disappeared.

“At least not on the little fish, but big ones like Biden, not so much.”

Find a real and true warrant against Biden and there would be thousands of officers lined up to serve it.

First have to find a real and true Attorney General.
