Oregon’s Justice Department Sues Federal Agencies over Protest Enforcement

Katherine Rodriguez 18 Jul 2020

Oregon’s Justice Department is suing multiple federal agencies for civil rights abuses, and state prosecutors are looking to file criminal charges against an officer who seriously wounded a protester.

The lawsuit names the U.S. Marshals Service, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and the Federal Protective Service as agencies that have used force against protesters since early July.

The state filed the suit on Friday.

U.S. Justice Department spokeswoman Kristina Edmunson told OPB that the lawsuit would accuse the agencies of taking part “in unlawful law enforcement in violation of the civil rights of Oregon citizens by seizing and detaining them without probable cause.”

State attorneys would request that a judge issue a temporary restraining order, which “would immediately stop federal authorities from unlawfully detaining Oregonians,” the DOJ said in a release.

Unsurprisingly. Who couldn't have foreseen this?

Rioters throw rocks, bottles and ball bearings at police and destroy public and private property. A-okay.

Police in response injure a a rioter and it there is a problem. We must prosecute the cop.

No problem before that though...

When are the people of Oregon going to say enough is enough?

Don't count on it; liberalism at its finest.
