Lawsuit update re: National Guard in Portland Trial, day 1: Law enforcement witnesses describe โstartlingโ tactics from ICE officers
What happened: Wednesday 10/29 through Friday 10/31, weโre in trial in the district court putting on evidence showing that the federal governmentโs deployment of National Guard is unlawful and unnecessary. On Wednesday, our witnesses - entirely local and state law enforcement officers in uniform - described how federal agents at the ICE building used โstartlingโ excessive force and testified that local law enforcement was sufficient to handle any criminal activity.
What's next: Thursday will mostly consist of the federal governmentโs case, including witness testimony from DHS and ICE officials. We will cross-examine those witnesses. Weโll continue to make our case that National Guard deployment in Oregon is unlawful and unnecessary - and weโll continue to share updates as we have them.
This week, weโre in trial in the district court putting on evidence showing that the federal governmentโs deployment of National Guard is unlawful and unnecessary.
