Federal officers are plucking protesters off Portland's streets & whisking them away in unmarked vans.

Acting Homeland Security Sec Chad Wolf says Portland is "under siege." Yes, a siege by federal officers #GoHomeChad By @_jlevinson & @conradjwilson @OPB

In its press release, DHS offers "a snapshot of the lawless destruction & violence" in Portland

On the whole, the list brazenly conflates violence & vandalism. Classic tactic to make space to inflict actual violence on ppl exercising 1st Amendment rights.

The 1993 Chemical Weapons Convention bans the use of tear gas in international warfare (although there is an odd carve-out for domestic use)

It may be legal, but it is massively unethical. Portland Police have often used tear gas on peaceful protesters
