Dear Portland,
I want to update you on our federal occupation, explain the steps that we have taken as a city, and share what our state legislature and federal delegation are doing to address this unconstitutional federal aggression against our city.
At a time when tensions were starting to decrease on our streets, Trump sent federal agents from two of the most politicized and controversial agencies—@CBP and @DHSgov—without Congressional authorization or notification, or local elected officials' consent, into our city.

Dear Portland,
We are no longer merely living in uncertain times—navigating a global health pandemic and economic crisis—in Portland, we are now living through a violent federal paramilitary occupation.
Over the last 2 months, our community has experienced repeated acts of violence at the hands of the @PortlandPolice—from the indiscriminate use of tear gas to targeting of members of the press—& now the federal government is violating our constitutional rights on our own streets.
