Stephen ThergesenFederal officers wearing camouflage, using unmarked vans, arresting and detaining peaceful protestors, over the objections of local authorities, isn’t “law and order.”
It’s the exact opposite.
And it’s un-American and unacceptable. https://t.co/uOKJpll -
Sheri EdwardsAs a minister in the @UnitedChurch, I demand Donald Trump remove federal forces immediately. Kidnapping citizens w/o cause is fascism. I urge Portlanders to resist this assault on democracy with non-violence and the weapon of love. Democracy is at stake.
I’m fixing to get ready to head downtown for the 7 pm vigil that @JoAnnPDX is hosting to protest violence against protesters in #Portland and in support of the right to protest our government without fear of reprisals from federal police under Donald Trum -
Bill SelakI hope, desperately hope, that this story is not what it appears to be. That there is some mistake. We need to know more, fast. But there is a chill up my spine with the recognition that this is plausible in our current America. https://t.co/tOJtkMUJSc

Peggy GeorgeWe need clarity about what’s going on in Portland. Unlike DC, the fed’l government doesn’t run law enforcement in the state & for its cities. Americans, even ones who violate the law, can’t be disappeared. We’re entitled to answers about what’s happen

Federal officers have been using unmarked vehicles to detain Portland protesters since at least July 14. The administration says officers are protecting federal property, but interviews show they're also detaining people nowhere near it. https://t.co/RKsR

martineaupGrabbing peaceful protesters off the streets of Portland and putting them in unmarked cars to detain them is unconscionable and terrifying. It is not de-escalation, it is not the Oregon way, and it must stop.

You may have seen alarming videos about a shadowy federal law enforcement presence snatching people off the streets of Portland. The reality -- as reported by a mainstream source, Oregon Public Broadcasting -- is that, yes, it's that bad. Read this story
Black reporters at the @nytimes protested the publication of an unedited op-ed that demanded federal troops enter US cities. This was precisely the fear.
Meanwhile a a group of professionals would have you think being “cancelled” for doing a shitty job i

Isn’t this basically the thing right wing militias and open-carry LARPers have been panicking about for eons? Where’s the NRA ad on this or are they still busy telling republican voters that Hillary will take your guns? https://t.co/WSvIi9UaZF -

I have read this article probably a dozen times, and I still don’t see where OPB confirmed the veracity of the videos and information in the tweets. All I’m seeing is the article rephrasing the claims, then discussing a lot of *other* activities in PDX in

Dan ConnollyUsually when we see people in unmarked cars forcibly grab someone off the street we call it kidnapping — what is happening now in Portland should concern everyone in the US.
These actions are flat-out unconstitutional and will not go unanswered. https:/ -

I once asked when AG Barr’s show trials in soccer stadiums would begin, and right-wing trolls descended on me for being hyperbolic. Now people are being “disappeared” by unidentified government agents in vans. It’s Pinochet 2.0 https://t.co/pICn6hcXA9 -

glenda funkThe whole country's eyes should be on what's happening in Portland.
Trump has sent federal troops into the city to intimidate, harass, and arrest protestors.
Don't *ever* let a Republican tell you they're the party of states rights.
