The Department of Justice confirmed Tuesday that federal law enforcement agents are investigating who is behind coordinated riots in cities across the country.
The Department has been working overtime to identify, charge and arrest hundreds of rioters. Last week, 74 individuals were charged in Portland with a series of federal crimes.
“Violent agitators have hijacked any semblance of First Amendment protected activity, engaging in violent criminal acts and destruction of public safety,” U.S. Attorney Billy Williams released in a statement. “The U.S. Attorney’s Office and our federal law enforcement partners are expeditiously working with local and state law enforcement to identify, arrest, and prosecute these individuals that are disrupting the rule of law in our communities and physically attacking our law enforcement officers and destroying property. Violent agitators not only delay real reform, but make our community less safe by keeping law enforcement from responding to other critical calls for service.”
Total - National:
300 arrested
302 charged
Portland:
100 arrested
76 charged
We are talking about federal crimes here, federal agents cannot and should not be arresting or prosecuting people for violating local laws. But there are federal laws in play here, such as attacking federal agents or damaging federal property, among other things. There are limits to what the feds can do, and if the state governors and mayors refuse to ask for help or deploy their Natl Guard, then it's all on them. Blaming any of this on Trump is bullshit, this is about democrats abandoning their citizens for political reasons.
