PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A U.S. judge on Friday denied Oregon’s request to restrict federal agents' actions when they arrest people during chaotic protests that have roiled Portland and pitted local officials against the Trump administration.
Federal agents deployed by President Donald Trump to tamp down the unrest have arrested dozens during nightly demonstrations against racial injustice that often turn violent. Democratic leaders in Oregon say federal intervention has worsened the two-month crisis, and the state attorney general sued to allege that some people had been whisked off the streets in unmarked vehicles....

So much for Black Lies Matters lawsuit against the Feds in Chicago
Months into this chaos and the so-called “news” media is still calling the rioters “proteserts”
Good job Judge, but it is shameful that anyone went to court to in an effort to stop President Trump from protecting American citizens.
Did Portland think that a Federal Judge would look kindly at Federal Courthouses being attacked. They breed them a special kind of stupid there don’t they?

Calling them rioters is underscoring what they are doing. They are using coordinated military style tactics, offensive weapons to attack and injure police officers, and prevent law enforcement from protecting themselves and property . These people are insurgents trying to cause enough chaos to topple our government, but they hide behind the “peaceful protester” meme created and furthered by our media.
Yeah but once these “proteserts” inevitably molt into fully adult “serts”, they surprisingly lose the passion for lighting things on fire and writing locker-room phrases on important buildings. Then they somehow remember that they are actually rich, spoiled, brainwashed caucasians and got lice, gonorrhea, and slept on prison floors without even getting laid. And spent the trust fund on meth and owe 200k in student debt they can’t pay.
" I would ask this question: If the state of Oregon does not have standing to prevent this unconstitutional conduct by unidentified federal agents running roughshod over her citizens, who does?"
UMMMM HELLO?!?!?! The state of Oregon has the ability to stop this in its tracks by PREVENTING THEIR CITIZENS from running roughshod over the law. They can stop their vandalism and arson as well as their terrorism and acts against the United States Federal Property and employees!! Do your damn job Oregon PD, Mayor and Governor! Do your job and the Feds will stand down.
Yes. I think you meant to say “understating” not “underscoring,” though. Agree with you completely.
WINNING
The judge ruled from inside the federal building under siege.
Democrat riots, sponsored by the governor, the state attorney general, the mayor and both of Oregon’s US senators.
The federal court system is a tad bit different than the kangaroo courts they are used to.
At least in most places that is..
That's "proctoserts."
Dubya judge. I’m surprised.

OREGON PING
If you’d like to be on the Oregon ping list, please freep mail me.
If Federal police cannot operate within the 50 states, where can they operate?
Article says they’re protesting racial injustice but that is a cover for their real protest against America.

Trying to burn down a federal court house on a daily basis is not protest. It’s arson.
