With as much lawbreaking is going on, we're seeking to prosecute as many people as are breaking the law as it relates to federal jurisdiction. That's not always happening with respect to local jurisdiction and local offenses. But, you know, this is a posture we intend to continue not just in Portland but in any of the facilities that we're responsible for around the country.

Secret police coming to a town near you

Well, first of all, I don't grant that everyone involved here is dealing with racial justice. We're talking only about violent rioters. We're not talking about actual protesters. We're not seeking to interfere at all with anyone peacefully expressing themselves - period, full stop. And a much unheard of - a much unknown agency, the Federal Protective Service, is responsible for protecting thousands around the country. That is an agency within the Department of Homeland Security. And the CBP agents that you saw backing them up are doing just that. They are there cross designated to support FPS, not the other way around. We're helping them do their job because of the demand for more manpower in light of the violence.

First they're called PACT now it's the federal protective services? Or is fps just the part of pact under dhs? Why is border patrol even involved, where is the neatest border to portland? Either way, the cross branch element of this secret police force and ice training civilians to be the new ss screams "coup attempt incoming" This is also why the "protestor/rioter division is very harmful for everyone!! We're all in this together.
