Portland hits feds with $500 fine every 15 minutes fence stands outside besieged courthouse

The city of Portland, Ore. is fining the federal government $500 for every 15 minutes it maintains unpermitted fencing outside of the federal courthouse that has faced nightly attacks amid ongoing protests and rioting.

City Commissioner Chloe Eudaly said in a statement Tuesday that the fencing is obstructing the street outside of the courthouse. As of Monday, she said, the federal government owed Portland $192,000.

"We intend to collect," said Eudaly, who added that she was "committed to doing everything in my power to end this federal occupation and move forward with our community's reckoning with racial injustice and our efforts to transform our approach to policing and public safety."

When they say that they want to fundamentally transform America, they damn well mean it.

Yep, into a communist country. Several phrases really upset me. When George H W said we were going to have a kinder, gentler nation, and the biggest one, is when the Obungler said we were going to fundamentally transform America. I figured that can’t be good, and it wasn’t.

More proof of the dangerous idiocy of the Left.

Portland has no standing to fine the Federal government or it’s agents.

The action is lawerly bravado

Isn’t making figures up from your butt great fun?

Maybe it is. POTUS dropped the $1B figure for the courthouse during that short presser yesterday.

He did not look like he was having any other fun.

Trump can beat the criminals running the city BY PLAYING BY THE RULES... Trump needs to stand his ground and start arresting ‘protestors’ who attack federal property. Then he needs to get Barr to draw up ways to sue the city for the costs....

That’ll show the little sh*ts who’s in charge... the law’s gonna win... thugs gonna lose.

The feds can tell them to pound sand. When the feds buy property, they aren’t subject to state or local law with that property, although they will try to match them (zoning, etc.).

Good point. I as just thinking that the Feds did something to Atlanta a few years back. Something that was made internationally famous by a certain blockbuster movie.....

Cheers.

Very good point. Therefore, the Feds should clearout all records and anything of use from the building, then level it and cart away the debris.
Then inform the city of Portland that they no longer warrant the Federal services that were provided from that building. Henceforth, the city and people of Portland will have travel to XXXXXX, the nearest location at which the desired services may be provided. Never build any Federal facilities in Portland. May it wither on the vine.

No, my point is to strengthen the federal presence and to remove the terrorists by any means.

Long past time for mass arrests with no bail. Fill those jails up?

Oh, worried about Covid? Not so much that you didn’t join a riot.

They will never get that money.

Trump should bill the city of Oregon millions for all the extra efforts the federal government has had to take to defend a federal courthouse; efforts required by the refusal of Portland city officials to give their own police the tools to do that job themselves.

The two biggest taxpayers Nike and Intel both lost tens of millions last quarter. Maybe Portland is running out of money.

That’s taking the HOA thing a bit too far.

Wait for the return bill from the US DOJ to Portland City Government for not reducing the riots and violence directed at the courthouse... this is more symbolic than actual reality ...
