Portland police accuse federal troops of inflaming anti-ICE protests, which city claims have not been violent
Fox News
Portland Police Bureau Commander Franz Schoening testified that federal forces deployed by President Donald Trump escalated tensions during protests at an ICE facility.
Schoening described instances in which federal agents fired tear gas at who he called nonviolent demonstrators, saying the actions were "startling." The ICE facility had been a focal point of protests since June.
He said that state and federal law prohibit police agencies from using the tactics that federal officers have taken, including the deployment of tear gas and other munitions. Portland police officers, he added, were themselves hit by tear gas and forced to retreat.
