Portland tear-gas clash prompts court bid to curb federal force
TL;DR Summary
Protesters suing the federal government ask U.S. District Judge Michael Simon to limit federal agents’ use of chemical munitions on peaceful demonstrators around the ICE building in Portland after weekend clashes, including effects on children and the elderly. The ACLU argues a pattern of force, while DHS policy defenses cite warnings and nonviolent scenarios; witnesses allege warnings were not given. A three-day hearing on the case is set for March 2.
