Portland - OSP troopers federally deputized amid renewed Portland protest response

"PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Oregon State Police troopers responding to the ongoing protest-related unrest in Portland have been federally deputized, state police confirm.

State police tell KOIN 6 News they’re working with the U.S. Attorney’s Office to review arrests made by troopers assigned to Portland for potential prosecution. The troopers assigned to Portland have been cross-deputized by the U.S. Marshals.

The Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt previously announced his office would presumptively decline to prosecute certain misdemeanor charges stemming from the protests, a move which resulted in criticism from law enforcement agencies, including state police in mid-August.
“OSP is not criticizing any officials and we respect the authority of the [Multnomah County] District Attoney, but to meet the Governor’s charge of bringing violence to an end we will use all lawful methods at our disposal,” an Oregon State Police spokesperson said."

"PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Some federal buildings are closed in Portland on Friday after a reported “threat of violence.”

The Portland office of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court announced the building will be closed due to a threat of violence in the area. They have not given details on what type of violence has been threatened. According to its website, the Mark O. Hatfield Federal Courthouse will also be closed — although it does not explicitly say the closure is a result of any threat.

According to the Oregonian, a knowledgeable source said “federal authorities received a threat that a vehicle filled with explosives would hit a federal building Friday.” However, they also report the source “didn’t specify whether the threat was targeted to a specific federal building — or whether that building is in Portland.”

The FBI released a statement Friday morning, saying they are working to determine the credibility of the threat and are in contact with local authorities."
