More Information, Photos Emerge Of ‘Elite’ Unit Deployed To Portland To Stop ‘Violent Extremists’
DAILY WIRE ^ | 7/18/2020 | RYAN SAAVEDRA

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recently deployed an elite unit of law enforcement operators to Portland this week under President Donald Trump’s Executive Order on Protecting American Monuments, Memorials, and Statues and Combating Recent Criminal Violence.

The New York Times confirmed an earlier report that identified the Border Patrol Tactical Unit, or BORTAC, as the unit that was deployed to Portland as the city has been rocked by approximately 48 consecutive days of riots. Reuters reported that in addition to BORTAC, “Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers are helping DHS’s Federal Protective Service, which provides security for federal buildings.”

Reuters added, “A U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) spokeswoman said on Friday agents had been deployed to Portland to support a newly launched U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) unit, tasked with enforcing last month’s executive order from Republican President Donald Trump to protect federal monuments and buildings.”

The CBP spokeswoman also addressed a video that went viral online that showed the federal agents taking a suspect away in an unmarked vehicle.

“The CBP spokeswoman said the agency had information that person was suspected of assaults against federal agents or destruction of federal property and ‘a large and violent mob’ moved toward the agents once they approached the suspect,” Reuters added. “‘For everyone’s safety, CBP agents quickly moved the suspect to a safer location for further questioning,’ the spokeswoman said. She said agents wore a CBP insignia during the encounter, but that their names were not displayed to protect them against retribution.”

Doesn't this whole thing give the lie to all those expense "anti-crowd" "area denial" weapons the DoD paid so much for?

Meanwhile the local cops are standing around gawking at all this, while telling all they’re not allowed to do their jobs because of their local Communist political bosses who are aiding and abetting these American hating anarchist.

Spit*

Maybe they don’t think the gloves have really come off yet, and are saving them for later.

The government needs to find out where these Antifa leaders live. Arrest them at home, in the middle of the night. Low profile.

Thanks.
Couldn’t even accept these were real because of media bias.

Yeah, lock up law breakers. Put them before a judge.

Time to take off the gloves and give these violent anarchists a taste of their own medicine.

Based upon local voting records, it is more than likely the Portland cops support the anarchists.

I wouldn’t advise that. You’re looking at no knock raids,
and we have seen far too many of those go south.

I think they are trying to find folks in the act of terrorism
and take them down on specific actions.

If they have a tight case, I’m open to a GITMO forwarding
address for these folks.

I am for RICO and taking down the funders and leaders of
this terrorism too.
