Portland? Kidnappings by the FED?

Can someone help me understand the situation in Portland? I've read several articles, but can't find the answers I'm looking for.

The word is that the unidentified officers in Portland picking people off of the street are Homeland Security. But, if they aren't identifying themselves, how is this known?

Also, the few people they have picked up off of the street... Have they been released yet? I read no one knows where they were being held, but that was a few days ago.

Does anyone know?

It appears they are being released as soon as they ask for a lawyer. cayugafalls Jul 2020 #2

From what I've read, people aren't being held long. Nor, have very many been "kidnapped." Hoyt Jul 2020 #4

Obviously, this can't be ignored. But, some of the "feds have taken over US cities" stories are a bit over the top.

Sounds like they know what they are doing is illegal and they don't want to go to court over it.

Conservatives always end up doing what they make up and villainize others for. Homeland Security is "probably" kidnapping and participating in human trafficking. They can't prove it isn't true, they have motive and opportunity and there are bodies in cages. They don't let people in to examine how they are treating innocent children. Seems obvious and there is no way they can produce evidence that they are not doing it. Q is of course the leader of this child traffic ring and Qanon is just a false flag to cover and misdirect people from suspecting him.

This of course makes no sense to you. Without the "deep" understanding that hours of watching Fox News brings, none of this stuff ever seems to make sense.

Picked up and released, we hear.
Picked up...we don't hear.
Here in Uruguay, we hear when the bones are found decades later.
