"Protestors" they are not! Talk about being disgraceful, she should know. I long for the day she buys a walk in freezer and gets locked in.

How do they know it was federal agents if they were in camo and unmarked vehicles?
They don't want police and feds to restore order, then the police and feds should just up and leave and let Portland work it out for themselves.
Agree. States have a Governor, cities have a Mayor. That's who is supposed to be running things, not the federal government. If these cities are in chaos and the Mayor won't stop it, then that's what the voters in that city want and we should leave them alone. If the residents wanted something else they'd take it up with their Mayor, not the President.
If the "peaceful protesters" continue to get a free pass, wouldn't another group that is anti-anifa get a pass as well? At what point do we now draw the line, and who is supposed to protect the "peaceful protesters"? What if another group doesn't like their message and attacks them? Keep your powder dry.
Wasn't it a Federal court and other Federal buildings that were being defaced? Wouldn't that be a Federal responsibility, especially since the State and city aren't stopping these "activities"?

Exactly right. They fire bombed a Federal building last night and locked the agents in.
Chloride or Cool Springs, AZ would be a good choice.
It should be noted here that the ACLU has been asked but has never lifted a finger to help victims of antifa and Black Lives Matter rioters’ violence, such as journalists Michael Strickland or Andy Ngo.
The U.S. Attorney for Oregon has ordered an investigation into the actions of federal officers while arresting antifa.
President Trump has been roundly criticized for considering sending in federal military troops to put down insurrections in cities experiencing riots. Trump can do that under the U.S. Constitution. In some cases, however, the governor would have to ask for help from federal troops.

Former federal prosecutor and legal analyst Andy McCarthy says federal law enforcement “doesn’t need to be invited by the state.”

McCarthy states that the last category has grown more “elastic” since the FDR administration began stretching the bounds of the Commerce Clause. Drugs, guns, terrorism, explosives, and racketeering (RICO) statutes come under this category. Indeed, U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr has brought charges against suspected antifa and Black Lives Matter terrorists for crossing state lines to loot, commit arson, and riot.

Three situations come to mind in history and there are plenty of other examples I am certain: Federal troops were sent by President Buchannan into the Territory of Utah...because the Mormons outright rejected Federal jurisdiction 1858...and Elliot Ness was sent to Chicago to go after organized crime...and the Mayor didn't ask for it & was NOT happy with the interference.
Please recall that IKE Federalized the national guard when dealing with southern civil rights violations back in 1956(?)...The Governor certainly did NOT want interference.

Oregon Gov. Kate Brown Rejects Federal Law Enforcement Except When Occupiers Are Conservative
I’m so old, I can remember when Oregon Governor Kate Brown begged the feds to send in reinforcements to end the occupation of a federal facility in her state. Her current opposition to Homeland Security’s deployment in Portland seems almost hypocritical, in a way.
In 2016, Gov. Kate Brown practically begged for federal law enforcement help:

The occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, in an area of the state where sage rats outnumber humans about 1,000 to one, was characterized by Kate Brown as armed, violent, and destructive. And yet, no damage occurred and no one was harmed until LaVoy Finicum, a spokesman for the Malheur occupiers, was murdered by state police and FBI agents while attempting to leave the occupation.
The city is now “demanding” that Trump remove the federal officers, Wheeler said.
“When we have Donald Trump sending troops into our streets who are not accountable to me or to the city council or to the public at large, we don’t know what they are doing or why they are doing it,” Wheeler said, calling the deployment of federal officers in Portland an “attack on our democracy.”
The mayor added that the president must be “held accountable,” for using federal agencies as his “personal army” for political purposes to “bolster his sagging polling data.”

That is a lot of hyperbole in one statement
