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
opb.org/news/article/f…
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.

You love to see it. Local electeds in Portland are calling out Acting Secretary of DHS Chad Wolf — using the hashtag #GoHomeChad — for blatant political posturing that has nothing to do with public safety
