As top federal law enforcement officials arrived in Oregon on Thursday, Gov. Kate Brown accused President Donald Trump of deploying federal officers to Portland to crack down on protesters as a way to boost his flailing reelection prospects.

In an uncharacteristically harsh statement, Brown responded to Trump's deployment of federal officers to quell Portland's protests against police violence. Those officers sent one demonstrator to the hospital July 11 with a munition to the face.

"This political theater from President Trump has nothing to do with public safety," Brown said. "The president is failing to lead this nation. Now he is deploying federal officers to patrol the streets of Portland in a blatant abuse of power by the federal government."

Her comments come in the same hour that acting Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf landed in Portland, according to KOIN News 6. This morning, Wolf refused a request from Mayor Ted Wheeler to withdraw his officers from Portland.

1. Unfucking believable!

13. Not really. When you finally understand that he has been owned and operated by the Russian mob since

The fall of the former USSR, who also controls Russia, it will all start making sense. The RMs goal is to destroy the US, and trump is just a puppet. There plan is working to perfection. Trump has no interest in anything but dividing and destroying America.

2. He's only avoiding the Posse Comitatus Act by cover of protecting federal statues.

There are military trained snipers and elite Border Patrol and DHS agents in Portland streets, NOT acting in coordination with local law enforcement but unitarily under the order of Trump.

I'm seeing reports of unmarked troops in fatigues detaining and taking away citizens on the street.

Oregon's Senators and Governor were not informed of this.

It's a putsch.

6. Posse Comitatus only applies to active duty military, not federal LEO's

It’s still fascism, just not a violation of PC.

10. that's what I said.

He's using DHS and elite Border Patrol to allegedly protect federal property, as a ruse to invade cities, fire on civilians who are protesting.

3. It's not a STUNT, Governor.

It's the precursor to his SS troops.

[Damn Yellowdawg Dem]

4. SS? No.

FSB!

5. They're bringing in the military equipment

8. Kick

9. I suspect other locations should watch out for this type of thing, as well.

It is my opinion that Trump is psychologically unable to admit defeat or cease fighting. Dangerous person. Dangerous times.

15. Portland test case? Beta test? Shakeout before rolling it out to dozens of cities?

Why else would Chad Wolf be on site?

[NBachers]

11. I bet there's been a seeding of agents provocateurs in strategic locations to justify this.

[burrowowl]

14. Yup! Could be.

Anyway, they are up to no good!

[rickyhall]

12. Is no way to control the failing orange madman?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

16. Tweet. What authority do they have to arrest people riding a bicycle? What federal statute violated?
