BREAKING: New 4th Amendment lawsuit in #PDX filed just now by @protctdemocracy on behalf of nightly protesters, including leader of the Wall of Moms.
This is the strongest 4th Amendment lawsuit so far. Similar case in Denver won an order blocking tear gas as excessive force.

Complaint here: documentcloud.org/documents/7007…
In addition to its 4th Amendment claim, @protctdemocracy and their co-counsel @Debevoise and @PerkinsCoieLLP challenge @DHS_Wolf's authority given his "acting" status. They also raise a First Amendment claim, and challenge @DHSgov's statutory authority to police #PDX.
(Disclosure: I'm co-counsel with @protctdemocracy in US v. Flynn. We represent over 1,000 former federal prosecutors urging the courts to reject DOJ's attempt to drop the charges against Michael Flynn. I am not co-counsel in the #PDX case just filed.)
