We need clarity about what’s going on in Portland. Unlike DC, the fed’l government doesn’t run law enforcement in the state & for its cities. Americans, even ones who violate the law, can’t be disappeared. We’re entitled to answers about what’s happening in Portland & why.

Both parties authorized the establishment of this unaccountable agency with a running blank check. You might remember being warned about it at the time by people who were shouted down for being "soft on the terrorism."
