Homeland Security fast-tracks expanded arrest powers for federal officers off federal property
Federal Protective Service officers have made arrests outside Portland’s U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building amid nightly protests alongside federal officers from immigration enforcement, U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Bureau of Prisons.
One incident saw a person erratically park a car in the driveway and run off, leading to suspicions there was a bomb inside in the vehicle. A Portland police bomb squad later deemed it safe. That was something attorneys for the city and states pointed to as evidence the Portland Police Bureau responded quickly to emergencies at the building.
Trump has claimed “unquestioned power” and indicated he could justify deploying federal troops to San Francisco under the Insurrection Act, an 1807 law that gives the federal government authority to suppress a rebellion or civil unrest.
The mayor spoke with President Donald Trump overnight. The president told the mayor he would not deploy troops to the city.
