The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recently deployed an elite unit of law enforcement operators to Portland this week under President Donald Trumps 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 DHSs 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 months 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 everyones 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.

There is plenty of combat tested infantry one state up at Ft Lewis WA. Bring them in if you really want to control the situation and watch the Mayor melt like the wicked witch.

This is a feature of photos of law enforcement operations in third world countries, where the officers conducting raids or arrests are masked and wear nothing identifying in order to protect them from retribution by gangs.
Now also in America.
Meanwhile the local cops are standing around gawking at all this, while telling all theyre not allowed to do their jobs because of their local Communist political bosses who are aiding and abetting these American hating anarchist.

How long will the Chicoms be able to resist offloading a few shipping containers of military arms and ordnance to these commies in Portland?
This has gone on for far to long. These arsonists ,rioters , looters and anarchists need to be infiltrated, identified and rounded up.Or a lot of innocent people are going to die along with this treasonous, no count rabble.
How do we know they are not doing that.
Cut the heads of the snakes funding this, freezing all accounts associated with these activists groups as well as visiting the leaders in the dead of night and sending them off to gitmo
They are out protesting all night. Do it at noon when they are fast asleep in Mama’s basement.
Why are they wearing cammo if it’s an urban setting?
The Marxists need to learn the difference between detained and under arrest.
There isnt the political will to use those weapons, at the moment. Theres some pretty cool hardware in this photo. For the time being, I think the mob is getting what they want, or think they want, with the simple presence of Trumps Storm Troopers No need to give them any more than that. Defend Federal assets, and show America their choice this November....law and order, or anarchy.
Remember, criminal, local government to include city and state refuse to do their job, to include the police.

Bust some heads for me. Thank you.
I’d prefer a 1,000lb JDAM here and there... in the end the mess would be easier to clean up.
After the Brown Note is administered, I’m wondering if anything will be noticed with this crowd.
Yeah, lock up law breakers. Put them before a judge.
.......................................................
Except that many of the judges ARE ALSO lawbreakers!
Will Portlands mayor succeed in suing?
........................................
Portland’s mayor should be cuffed and frog-marched to the nearest lockup!
Don’t need to take too many people off the streets for this to stop.
Let’s test their organizational depth.
These Fed operators are lean, fit and disciplined. They were calm and methodical and the rioters melted back from them.
you mean like antifa anarchists?
