WASHINGTON  — FBI agents arrested a Portland, Ore., man Thursday as part of the investigation into the deadly train bombings in Spain, federal officials said.

Brandon Bieri Mayfield, a U.S. citizen, was taken into custody on a material witness warrant, said a senior law enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity. The arrest, first reported in Newsweek, is the first known in the United States with connections to the March 11 bombings in Madrid.

The FBI also searched his home, which he shares with his wife, the official said.

"I'm afraid the reasons we're there are going to be lost in all the condemnations."

If you ask me, that is the very objective for some of these folks.

[Free Trapper]

Isn't the City similar to Seattle?

Remember,there was a plot to blow the Space needle.

fyi

PORTLAND NEEDS SOME MAJOR FBI-CIA-HOMSEC SECRUTINY... feds need to wake the heck up.

Doesn't this very story indicate that is exactly what's been going on?

[P-Marlowe]

Your work is as good as your namesake!

Apparently the mods didn't think so. But then they are just making sure that if we posted the wrong guy, they don't get sued. I would bet, however, that there aren't any other Brandon B. Mayfield's in Oregon.

Just remember you saw it here first. :-)

[B Knotts]

Yikes. Can't say I'm surprised, though.

Portland is the "City of Peace^TM."

[Robert_Paulson2]

you live here?

we do.

Didn't the beltway snipers young protege also sneak in through immigration in Oregon? They knew he was here illegally and they let him leave on his own recognizance.

[Grampa Dave]

I'm surprised there has been this much by the media.

Of course the real data will ferreted out and dragged out into the sunlight by Freepers.

Any connection to the NOI or al Fuqra will be buried or spiked by the media if there is any.

NOTE TO SELF: Avoid angering P-Marlowe if at all possible . . .

Thanks, Shermy! I wonder if Mayfield, in addition to his Muslim ties, might have any ties to the legal left--ACLU, National Lawyers Guild (cf. NLG: The Legal Fifth Column), etc. Here's something of potential interest, given Mayfield's involvement in immigration law:

Sounds like the Feds are watching there.

He's gonna "apologize"

This is what I do in Oregon to keep it safe.

Waterway Watch is the initial and primary Coast Guard Auxiliary program launched as a component of  Operation Patriot Readiness,
and is a major part of the Coast Guard's maritime security initiative.

Waterway Watch promotes public awareness and involvement in Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA)
and Maritime Homeland Security (MHLS) activities.

Waterway Watch involves all Auxiliarists, both those performing direct operational missions
and those involved in Recreational Safe Boating operational support activities.

Some of us are old troopers when it comes al Fuqra, NOI, the Oregon 7 and even to help close an al Fuqra training site near Fresno.

This love affair between Vera Katz and her lunatic lefties in Portland with the Islamofascists/kazis has set up this mecca for these terrorists. We warned about this back in the fall/winter of 2001 after 9/11.

Wait until more Portland area people get on this case.

[cyncooper]

No, I'm in Tucson.

Did they or did they not round up that gang a few years back?

Did they or did they not pick this fellow up today?

That tells me Portland's been getting a very close scrutiny from the feds. That WAS your complaint. That they needed to be getting the attention and scrutiny. My point is they are.

[Sacajaweau]

The sniper resided in Tacoma which I think is only 15 minutes from Portland (someone will correct me if I'm wrong).

The sniper had a specialty while in the service. I keep thinking demolition expert associated with waterways or something. I'll look it up. It raised a flag when I first saw it.
