ACLU lawsuit: https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/aclu-sues-federal-agents-portland https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/aclu-sues-federal-agents... Restraining order issued against attacking journalists: U.S. District Judge Michael Simon today blocked federal agents in Portland from dispersing, arresting, threatening to arrest, or targeting force against journalists or legal observers at protests. The court’s order, which comes in response to a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon, adds the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Marshals Service to an existing injunction barring Portland police from arresting or attacking journalists and legal observers at Portland protests. https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/federal-court-issues-restraining-order-federal-agents-portland https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/federal-court-issues-res...
