The US Attorney for the Oregon District on Friday requested an investigation into masked, camouflaged federal authorities without identification badges who are arresting protesters in Portland.

The request is aimed specifically at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) personnel who have been captured on various videos arresting protesters and putting them in unmarked SUVs.

DHS Under Secretary: We’re Taking This National

Well, we are – we welcome – the more investigations, the better. With as much lawbreaking is going on, we’re seeking to prosecute as many people as are breaking the law as it relates to federal jurisdiction. That’s not always happening with respect to local jurisdiction and local offenses. But, you know, this is a posture we intend to continue not just in Portland but in any of the facilities that we’re responsible for around the country.

i'm sure glad that all of the folks that were so up in arms about how the clintons and obama were going to use jack booted thugs to turn the country into their feifdom are standing up against this.

it's important to remember that this douche bag and his boss are both "acting" and did not go through a confirmation process for their jobs. that is being done in a lot of agencies and these sociopaths are making up their own rules.

I hope so, but I really don't have faith in them, either. They won't be trump or his cohort, which is awesome. It is enough for now. But I am not sure that government gives power back.
