Good evening from new york. There are secret Police Operating on the streets of an American City under the direction of the president. In the past week they have been recorded snatching a protesters off the street and forcing him into an unmarked car and shooting another peaceful protester with a nonlethal round in the head. This is all happening in portland, oregon where a protester was standing across the street from unidentified federal Officers Holding nothing but a speaker. He rolled away a canister thrown in his direction, and then this happened. The reason you see him collapse there was because he was shot in the head with a round meant to be nonlethal. His fellow protester carried him away as his blood pooled on the ground. His mother said his face and skull were fractured and that he finished facial Reconstructive Surgery early sunday morning. He still has a tube in the skull to drain the blood. The shot into his head was fired by the federal agents that the president deployed to the streets of portland against the wishes of the mayor and the governor. These agents have been driving unmarked vehicles and tear gassing protesters while refusing to identify themselves. Oregon democratic senator tweeting a peaceful protester in portland was shot in the head by one of Donald Trumps secret police. Now they are weaponizing the department of Human Security to provoke violence on the streets of my hometown because they think it plays well with their right wing media. To justify what donald trump is doing, he tweeted out images of himself viewing graffiti that had been put on buildings in portland. And the dhs put out a statement pointing out to the buildings that had been graffitied by violent anarchists. We need to make sure that were supporting our Law Enforcement officers here and making sure that theyre going to continue to protect the federal courthouse here. Thats our mission. Were not going to abdicate our mission, our responsibilities. However, whatever the local leadership here is telling us so the mission of the department of Homeland Security is deploy secret police to stop graffiti and some Light Property damage . As part of that mission to protect the federal courthouse, they apparently also need to abduct people as well. What are you doing . Use your words. What are you doing . Use your words. What are you doing . I havent done anything wrong. Use your words. What is going on . We need to know whats going on. Well get you out. What is your name . Tell us your name . Okay. Youre fine. Well get you out. We got you, friend. We got you. You just violated their rights. You just violated their rights. Kidnapping people. Yeah, kidnapping people, stuffing them into unmarked vans in america. That is just one of a number of videos of unidentified federal officials just plucking people off the street and driving away just like that. One came from a 29yearold who said that when he was abducted, he did not know if the men were even police. He thought they might be far right extremists. I was terrified he told the washington post. It seemed like it was out of a horror scifi. It was like being preyed upon. After a terrifying car ride, he was put in a cell in what he later learned was a federal courthouse. He was later released without any record of why he had been picked up in the first place. The dhs put out a statement saying he had been suspected of either assault or vandalism. They were not sure which. Vandalism. Dhs is patrolling agency, the agency created after 9 11 . Theyre going after vandals . Lets be very clear here, this kind of armed federal presence does not help anyone. That is why local officials do not want it. These men in their camo with their guns and their riot gear, they are not calming things down in portland. They are not bringing order to portland. They are making things in portland worse. They are provoking people and violating their rights, which is precisely why Shawn Hannity led with images of violence as a way to distract and convince people to think about anything other than the once in a century catastrophe that donald trump has ushered in. Do you remember when the president and attorney general william barr had police violently extract Peaceful Protesters from Lafayette Park so that donald trump would have that ridiculous photo op. That was ordered in part because barr was concerned about graffiti on the Treasury Department headquarters. Graffiti. Federal officers in riot shields with guns and tear gas and batons being deployed because someone tagged a wall. And now its the same excuse theyre using in portland. And, remember, after the secret police cleared a path, donald trump strolled passed that graffiti for a photo meant to posthis political stance. This is the same thing all over again. The president has authorized the occupation of a major American City in an attempt to create a propaganda Media Opportunity for the right wing. They are literally an conducting people because the only trick they seem to have left as trump slides further and further behind the polls, as the virus rages across the country, is to lay waste to the rule of law. Whether it is grabbing people off the streets and stuffing them into unmarked vans or trying to stop mailin voting or calling into question the legitimacy of the election or pardoning his friends and cocon spore stors, it is a full fej assault on democracy. Governor, thank you for joining me tonight. I want to just say that i am confused about this situation. I have been reading reporting on it all day. What is your understanding of what is going on in your state right now . Thats a great question. We are certainly facing challenges with covid19. And ive asked the federal government for help, both in terms of testing supplies and financial resources. We have citizens across the state that have been very hard hit by this virus, and we cant get either the Financial Support or the medical help that we need. Instead, the federal government chooses to deploy troopers on our streets, as you mentioned, which is purely political theater. Its not about public safety. And its certainly not about problem solving. Well, just detailwise, like did anyone call up you or any of your staff to say, governor, were sending a bunch of folks out in the streets. They might be shooting nonlethal rounds. Would you like us to do this . Has there been communication, or are you just watching this happen . Thats a really great question. I got a call from secretary wolf on tuesday. As you are well aware, that was several days after they had already almost killed a young man, a peaceful protester in portland. And the conversation i had with him was very, very clear. Remove your federal officers from the streets of portland. You are escalating an already challenging situation. And frankly, in oregon, we solve problems by deescalating and dialoguing. This is a total and complete distraction from the Trumps Administration failure to lead a national covid19 response. I saw reporting that some of these officers, federal officers are cvp, custom and Border Protection. I know this will sound snarky, but i want to say for the record like portland is not on the border, right . Well, you know your geography well, probably better than a lot of Vice President ial candidates in certain parties. But, yes, we know there are federal officials. As you mentioned, they are driving unmarked cars. Media reports tell me that they literally are renting vehicles from local rental agencieagenci. But i asked them to go home. The mayor has asked them to go home. Our congressional delegation has asked them to go home. And if not, i ask them to comply with the same restrictions that the Portland Police bureau is under. The federal courts have placed restrictions on the city of Portland Police force in terms of their use of force. Federal officials should be required to comply with these absolute same restrictions. Americans ought to be outraged and oregonians are. This is absolutely unacceptable. This was purely a photo opportunity for political theater for the Trump Administration. He is trying to distract. If they were trying to problem solve, they would have called us and said, lets have a conversation. Lets work collaboratively to tackle these issues. Theyre not interested in problem solving. They only want to escalate. They want to dominate the streets. And they want to score political points with their base. Yeah. You wrote that trump is looking for a confrontation in oregon in hopes of winning political points in ohio or iowa. But there is real people there and there is a real young man who really had facial Reconstructive Surgery and really had his blood pool on the street after he was really shot with a nonlethal round by a federal official who to this day we dont know what entity he came from. One question i have for you and the citizens of your state, if two men come up to me in gubs and cam flag and grab me to put me in a car, im not going with them. I dont know who they are. I dont know if theyre people that just bought camouflage in a store and a police badge and have a gun. I dont know what authority they have. This is terrifying for the citizens of the city of portland surrounding communities. Obviously it is definitely like pouring gasoline on a fire. This is not how we solve problems in my state. And it is absolutely unacceptable. The circumstance you just showed, complete violation of civil rights and a violation of our constitution. Certainly federal Law Enforcement officials should be forced to abide by these at the very least. Governor kateoregon. As you can tell, she has been asking the federal officers who were deployed in her state on the streets to leave. Thank you so much for your time tonight, governor. Thank you. Be safe. I want to bring now in senator jeff murphy, a democrat of oregon who tweeted tat president to get your dhs lackey and uninvited Para Military actions out of our state. I want to talk about the legality here and oversight. We have some news on that front. The aclu already sued the Portland Police, the local police. That Portland Police department has had some real excesses and there is a reason theyre under federal constraint in terms of what kind of use of force they can have. But the judges now said the aclu can add federal agencies to it and a u. S. Attorney for oregon is calling for investigation into those protester arrests. Is that enough . Or does more have to be done to figure out what the heck is going on here . Well, more has to be done. Every american should be offended what they have seen tonight, actually terrified. Trump is using his federal forces as a personal Paramilitary Force. That is what dictators do. That is not what president s of a democratic republic do. I can tell you that we pursued this question of who are these people. I talked to the u. S. Marshalls office. They said they were marked. And then it appeared these folks were custom and Border Protection agents and they were the ones sweeping people off the street. And we got a replay from mark morgan, the commissioner who says, no, no, no. They were clearly marked as federal Law Enforcement officers. When you see those pictures, you see the words police. Were they Foreign Police . Were they someone that bought some camouflage and a police badge . He said he was terrified. He knew that the white power extremists have come to try to harass protesters in oregon. And what was going through his mind was could these be extremists . I think it is absolutely unacceptable to have this. This is completely unacceptable. No accountability. Now theyre not coming clean. I talked about what are the rules of engagement . Who are the Decision Makers about what weapons would be carried. They said they have protocols. Well, you have protocols for different places to make decisions. I have absolutely no chance for use of personal president ial Paramilitary Force seems appropriate. And then look at what theyre doing, grabbing somebody who left a peaceful protest, was walking back to his car, sweeping him into a van, throwing him into a prison cell. Later releasing him, never telling him who they were or why he was stopped. Again, this is unacceptable in america. I have to say that in my career covering politics, i have heard countless lectures from conservatives about federalism states rights, local control. We dont want the federal government coming in and telling us what to do. I dont understand. Why is this the dhs business in any way, shape or form or cvp. Whoever graffitied a wall, we have local Law Enforcement in this country that the dhs doesnt run around arresting everyone who graffitis someone . There is no grounding for this other than the president wants a show of force. Well, we certainly in portland have had conflicts between white extremists and others who are protesting. The City Commission and the mayor and the police chief and teams have tried to figure out how to keep them separated, keep them from being violent exchanges to stop any form of destruction. And it is not always easy. But it gets much harder when you have unidentified agents coming in using impact ammunitions, shooting a peaceful protester in the head. So i asked about the rules of engagement. I said, you can shoot somebody in the head with these impact ammunitions, rubber bullets . They said we have rules. Will you give me a copy . No. Well, theyll think about getting me a copy. I said, you dont have rules like if we use these we only use them if were endangered. We never shoot above the chest. Its absolutely the governor had it right. It pours gas teen on this fire, this tension. So here we have everyone working to deescalate, to end any form of violence or property destruction and the federal storm troopers, trumps personal Paramilitary Force coming here in a secret police style just making everything so much worse. He has to get them home. It does seem like from a legal point of view this type of unidentified sweeping people off the street is a violation of civil rights. What president would we expect that from . President trump. Yeah. Its intolerable. Folks should go read about how the Founding Fathers felt about this policing action. They were not supportive of it. Senator, thank you very much. Thank you. Good to be with you. Next, were now witnessing a rise in the number of people dying from the coronavirus each day.
