State police slam Trump's ICE agents after tear gas hits officers

Oregon state police are shredding President Donald Trump's ICE agents after officers "suffered exposure" from tear gas during a protest outside an ICE facility in Portland earlier this month.

Judge Karin Immergut said she would decide on whether to hold the government in contempt and determine whether the government violated a temporary restraining order when officials refused to pause National Guard soldiers going into Portland, Oregon. New evidence was presented in court on Wednesday about the federal government firing on local law enforcement with pepper balls and chemical gas.

"Oregon State Police Capt. Cameron Bailey says his sergeant & other officers 'suffered exposure' from tear gas after federal officers sprayed protest - adds there was no warning for law enforcement. Continues plaintiffs' main theme, that federal officers are endangering cops as well as protesters," Talking Points Memo reporter and co-host of the John Marshall podcast Kate Riga wrote on Bluesky.

People at the protest said the scene in early October was alarming. "Commander Franz Schoening of the Portland Police Bureau describes a protest in early October outside the ICE facility featuring lots of 'older' people - says it was 'startling' to watch federal officers use tear gas on the crowd, that it wasn't 'best practices' or justified," Riga said.

Blue on blue (law enforcement against law enforcement) is how it will start?

I remember a scene from The Dark Knight, when Harvey Dent gave a press conference, a Gotham cop screamed out "no more dead cops." The civilians of Gotham can die, but not cops. This seems the MO.

have always been crypto-fascists, but they don't like to be on the receiving end. It would be instructive for them to study their history on how German local law enforcement fared when they crossed the Gestapo, or simply got in the way.

"... determine whether the government violated a temporary restraining order"

Judges are just issuing empty threats.

Even the judge in Chicago, who had evidence that any other person would have been thrown in jail, only gave Bovino detention for the week, which the Principal cancelled.

There has to be arrests. There has to be consequences.
