Title-Portland Attorney Says Feds Did Not Read Her Rights, Identify Themselves
BY AILA SLISCO ON 7/23/20 AT 12:01 AM EDT

snip--"
An Oregon lawyer says she was arrested by federal agents who refused to identify themselves or read her her rights during protests in Portland on Tuesday.

Attorney Jennifer Kristiansen, 37, was arrested after participating in a protest outside a federal courthouse in Portland, as city officials continued to demand the agents leave the area.

Kristiansen was at the protest as part of the "Wall of Moms," a group of mothers who are attempting to act as a human shield blocking officers from assaulting protesters participating in ongoing Black Lives Matter demonstrations against police brutality and racial injustice."

snip--" After being arrested, Kristiansen was criminally charged with assaulting an agent and failing to obey their orders, while also being issued an order to not return to the protest area. She pled not guilty to the charges, saying that an assault did take place but insisting she was the victim rather than the perpetrator."
