Blinded by his hat, in an unmarked minivan full of armed people dressed in camouflage and body armor who hadn’t identified themselves, Pettibone said he was driven around downtown before being unloaded inside a building. He wouldn’t learn until after his release that he had been inside the federal courthouse.
“A peaceful protester in Portland was shot in the head by one of Donald Trump’s secret police,” Senator Ron Wyden tweeted Thursday. “Now Trump and Chad Wolf are weaponizing the DHS as their own occupying army to provoke violence on the streets of my hometown because they think it plays well with right-wing media.”
“Portland has been under siege for 47 straight days by a violent mob while local political leaders refuse to restore order to protect their city,” he wrote in a letter on Thursday. On Friday, Wolf tweeted, “Our men and women in uniform are patriots. We will never surrender to violent extremists on my watch.” In another tweet, he showed images of the carnage he saw in Portland. It was all graffiti.
