State and local leaders in Oregon, as well as members of Congress, have called for Trump to remove Department of Homeland Security secret police forces from Portland, Oregon, after videos showed unidentified federal personnel rounding up people and whisking them away in black minivans.
“Not only do I believe he is breaking the law, but he is also endangering the lives of Portlanders,” the city’s mayor, Ted Wheeler, tweeted, having previously called the federal presence “political theater” in an election year.
Get the “secret police” too? Not in quotes. Go Reuters.
And what about that mayor? Lives of Portlanders not endangered as matters stand? City up for grabs, and he talks like this. And he is a Democrat, hasn’t just been called one. It’s a matter of public knowledge, though in some quarters that’s not a recommendation.
