| 2020-07-18 |
| But of course. [OregonLive] Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum announced late Friday that her office would sue several federal law enforcement agencies over their response to Portland protests and launch a criminal investigation into an incident of force by federal officers. Rosenblum is seeking a temporary restraining order to stop federal officers from detaining Portlanders, arguing federal agencies seized and detained Oregonians without probable cause. She said the state’s lawsuit in federal court will name the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Marshals Service, U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Federal Protection Service as defendants.

| #4 They are in full insurrection against the federal government. Declare them all rebels and send in the real troops to crush Portland. Burn it to the ground like Atlanta. |

| #2 So Oregon refuses to prosecute those who break the law, riot and destory property but will sue anyone who attempts to enforce the law. |

| #1 In a just world this lawsuit would get tossed out on it's ass and the plaintiff gets hit with treble court costs plus defendant attorney's fees. |
