I thought I read they admitted to being Customs & Border Patrol, at least in Portland. But yes other reports say that a force was assembled from various federal agencies so maybe also US Marshals.
They have been using border patrol in questionable ways for awhile, like setting up roadblocks on highways hundreds of miles from any border.

I think he can request it, but I'm not sure he can command it.

I am from Oregon, I remember protests in the 60s and 70s over Vietnam. I also remember a line of State Police walking through a park downtown and busting heads of those that did not clear out. Actually one of my first telco bosses had been one of those State Bull Cops. Are young white kids just aching for a chance at anarchy? I don’t get it. Misbehaving while trying to wrap some kind of noble cause around you is pretty childish. -- AF mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com _____ -- AF mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
