Federal authorities reportedly used unmarked vans in Portland, Oregon to seize and stop protesters.
Since July 14, federal law enforcement have reportedly driven in unmarked vehicles in Portland, Oregon to arrest and remove protesters off the streets. The efforts are an escalation by federal authorities to prevent civil unrest.
