Portland’s Wall of Moms, Black Lives Matter and the Don’t Shoot protest groups filed a lawsuit Monday against the U.S. Justice and Homeland Security departments, arguing that federal officers are using excessive violence and violating protesters’ constitutional rights.
“Rather than protect and defend Plaintiffs’ constitutional rights, as they are bound to do by law and their Oaths of Office, Defendants have implemented an unlawful policy to quash Plaintiffs’ speech and end their protests,‘’ the suit says. We just sued @DHSgov & @TheJusticeDept on behalf of @DontShootPDX, founded by @TeressaLRaiford, @WallOfMoms, organizer @BevBarnum & several other #BlackLivesMatter protesters to stop the @realDonaldTrump administration’s unlawful invasion of Portland. https://t.co/zb9Mt4iPMBThe suit was filed in the U.S.
