...The officers were made deputies in advance of expected demonstrations at a rally by far-right group Proud Boys which took place in Portland on Saturday. Anticipating violence, Oregon Governor Kate Brown issued an executive order allowing local and county law enforcement to handle the event. While some protests did occur, the rally lasted roughly 90 minutes before ending.
Mayor Wheeler's office said in a Tuesday statement that it had asked the office of the U.S. Attorney to remove the deputation. On Wednesday, District of Oregon Billy J. Williams and U.S. Marshal for the District of Oregon Russ Burger denied Wheeler's request.

So it doesn't really matter what the Multnomath Sheriff thinks or who he endorses - the cops on the street know who has their back.
I had to put my glasses on cause I thought the headline said “Fruitland mayor”.
Their hypocrisy is on full display for the whole country to see.
So Portland Cops are Federal Deputies now?
Brown, Wyden, Merkely, Wheeler have allowed the destruction of Portland by Antifa/BLM. Businesses are leaving in droves. People are moving out.
Portland is a maximum hell hole.
Why would Democrat’s allow this?
Because it is a port city in cahoots with China and the deep state.
They use the riots to keep people out. It’s an Antifa/BLM hotbed of insurrection and they don’t want anyone knowing what’s going on in the city and the port.
The military ought to go in and round them up.
Throw the politicians and Antifa/BLM orchestrators in Gitmo.
Some Portland police and some state police. They were deputized after peaceful protesters attacked and set fire to the federal court house. The deputized officers could go into the federal building to arrest the peaceful protesters and charge them with federal crimes.
If the country wants eyes to see...
Some are, yes. Which means they can follow the Federal command, they can arrest for Federal offenses and they bypass the bent local DA and judicial system entirely.
Just the riot response officers, forgot the exact name of the unit. Basically the ones with the riot trucks/vans with the added running boards on the side so they can quickly get around the city and hop on and off at the various hot spots that need to get broken up.
Nah. You were right.
Around 5 dozen that deal with protestors are. Sworn in Sat.(although I think more were sworn in a few weeks ago)
In an email:
Can we agree?
Now this is an excellant idea!!
The COVID-19 vaccine should be tested on politicians first.
If they survive, the vaccine is safe.
If they don’t, the country is safe.
“So Portland Cops are Federal Deputies now?”
Deputy Federal marshals with full federal authorities.
That means terrorists and rioters will be charged for federal crimes see a federal judge and do federal time.
Life it good unless you are a terrorist ANTIFA PUKE.
“People are moving out.
Portland is a maximum hell hole.”
Moving out from the Pearl District but overall Portland home prices are up 6% y/y.
I imagine it will also look pretty good on a resume, when the Portland Leos decide to set sail for greener pastures with less wildings. Maybe even as new dep marshals. It’s certainly a template for other areas. Win-win.

Update. 100 state troopers and Portland police were federally deputized prior to last weekends protests. Mayor Ted Wheeler whining he wants that undone but police say they are keeping that status until the end of the year.
Good to see pushback against Maggot Wheeler.
More from the article:
“The U.S. Marshal will not cancel the cross-deputation of local and state law enforcement officers,” read a joint statement from Williams and Burger on Wednesday.
Burger and Williams cited Portland’s “months of nightly criminal violence and destruction” as reasons for keeping the officers as federal deputies.
“Federal cross-deputation of Oregon State Police, Multnomah County Sheriff and Portland Police Bureau personnel underscores the importance of providing accountability and deterrence for these criminal acts,” the statement continued. “Importantly, the federal deputation supports front line law enforcement officers and their families in a way that they have not seen from City Hall.”
“Portlanders, and Oregonians in general are sick of the boarded-up and dangerous conditions prevalent in downtown Portland due to a lack of leadership,” the statement added.
I saw you tweeted the good news about OR-4 (Cook moved it to lean D from “likely”) One of those “college seats” we talked about!!!
This Portland crap can’t be playing well down there.
