Portland Paints Bull’s Eye on Its Back
By Matt O'Brien February 19, 2019 4 Comments
Portland, Oregon, may finally have gone off the deep end. Concerned about “immigrants’ rights,†the Portland City Council has voted to withdraw the city’s police department from the FBI-coordinated Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF). Following the vote, officers of the Portland Bureau of Police will no longer serve on the JTTF.
The JTTF was formed in the wake of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks, to improve information-sharing between federal and local law enforcement agencies. Representatives from federal agencies and local police departments work side-by-side, in regional JTTF offices, in order to improve the kind of face-to-face information sharing that is essential to finding and foiling terrorist plots. Regional JTTF units have dismantled a number of terror cells, including the “Portland Seven†(residents of Portland who attempted to join the Taliban).
