Federal agents (Military) grabbing protesters off the streets in Portland 7/17/2020

Oregon officials blasted the White House after federal agents arrested protesters in Portland, Oregon. The agents put them into unmarked vans without telling them why they were being detained. New video shows the vans entering the Edith Green Wendell Wyatt Federal Building. Oregon Gov. Kate Brown, a Democrat, condemned the arrests, as did Oregon Senator Jeff Merkley.
