This is U.S. Senator Ron Wyden from Oregon.
[ [link removed] ]I'm asking for your help to send back to Donald Trump the federal
forces he has thrown into the streets of Portland, Oregon.
These troops have no accountability. They wear camouflage. They whisk
innocent protesters off the street. And they shoot innocent people.
This week, I will be introducing an amendment to the must-pass defense
bill with Sen. Jeff Merkley to stop the Trump Administration from
dispatching his personal federal army into America's streets.
[ [link removed] ]All my colleagues on both sides of the aisle need to know the public is
paying attention and won't tolerate this. Will you sign on as a supporter
of our emergency proposal?
Oregon Public Broadcasting reports "federal law enforcement shot and
severely injured" Donavan LaBella, 26, a peaceful protestor. After a
bullet from Trump's army pierced his face and skull, he had to have face
reconstruction.
The Washington Post reports, "One protester, 29-year-old Mark Pettibone,
described being grabbed by several men in green military fatigues and
generic 'police' patches...Pettibone said he did not know whether the men
were police or far-right extremists, who frequently don military-like
outfits."
"I was terrified," Pettibone said. "It seemed like it was out of a
horror/sci-fi...It was like being preyed upon."
It’s painfully clear this administration is focused purely on escalating
violence without answering my repeated requests for why this expeditionary
force is in Portland and under what constitutional authority.
[ [link removed] ]If Donald Trump’s unconstitutional abuses can happen in Portland, they
can happen anywhere. Please sign onto emergency legislation saying this is
unacceptable in America and must end.
Thanks for your solidarity.
