Federal officers shoot tear gas and guns with less-but-still-lethal rounds at people in a crowd late Thursday night. The actions came hours after the head of DHS called them “violent anarchists” (Beth Nakamura/The Oregonian via AP).

Democratic Gov. Kate Brown said Trump is looking for a confrontation in the hopes of winning [right wing] political points elsewhere. It also serves as a distraction from the coronavirus pandemic, which is causing spiking numbers of infections in Oregon and the nation.
Gov. Brown's spokesman, Charles Boyle, said Friday that arresting people without probable cause is “extraordinarily concerning and a violation of their civil liberties and constitutional rights.”
