They are representing Don't Shoot Portland, Wall of Moms and five individual Black Lives Matter protesters.death of George Floyd The plaintiffs allege that the conduct of those federal agents, including away from the federal courthouse they were sent to protect, suggests they were actually carrying out a different DHS policy:"to intimidate and silence protesters because of their message."

"They have been tear-gassed night after night, left vomiting and unable to eat or sleep because of the toxic poison blasted at them," the complaint reads."They have been shot at over and over — with rubber bullets, bean bags, pepper spray, and a range of other projectiles fired at close range and with brutal effect. They have had flash-bang explosive devices detonated right in front of them.

Why are you supporting these racists white women who are denying black women a role?

Good!!!

Wolves in sheep's clothing. You can put lipstick on a pig, its still a pig.

There trying to burn down the building they have to get some pain.

voteblueforgood next term you will have no rights left to sue for.....and all you gun nuts will have your firearms confiscated

Stomp out American Neo- Fascism.

I don't see any protesters... just anti- American rioting criminals!

The have a right to Protest with a permit. Don’t don’t have the right to a violent riot.

Oh and the government will finally have all of their names so they will know who to arrest as accomplices.

Maybe the US should sue them and Portland for destruction of federal property paid for by the tax paying citizens of this country? I’m in!

They don’t have a right to graffiti or burn federal property.

⚠️ realDonaldTrump is absolutely correct. What's happening in Seattle,Portland, etc. is BAD GOVERNMENT and it has been for a while...here you will see familiar faces, from a year ago, with bad ideas and bad practices.⚠️

rahulnair_23 4 key Portland lawsuits could have major ripple effects on countrywide protests

Don't attack a federal courthouse and you won't have to worry about being shot.

Yes. Just ask that 14 year old girl if her rights were assaulted the same way she was. Yes. Yes they were.

Sure they are. Really a Democrat funded prosecutor and lawyers are doing the lawsuit. Not the “moms”.

Good.

More fake bs liberal nonsense.

IT'S ABOUT TIME SOMEONE FILED A LAW SUIT...

Good. The more charges and suits brought against Trump’s criminal empire, the better

Go get him PortlandMoms and DontShootPortland!! Love and support from Oakland!

Anybody with a little bit of sense knows there's no need 4 any type of intervention in a PEACEFUL protest.

I am just curious everybody and their momma is suing the trump administration. Who pays if he administration loses?

The're just no words to describe how inane that is. People have the right to protest, not to burn down buildings, destroy property, blind with lasers, maim with IEDs, & all the other things these terrorists are doing. Good luck with that, it will be great news when they lose.

Laughable

The Trump Administration, desperate to stay in power, is escalating intimidation and crime against American citizens in a ludicrous attempt to say they are fighting crime.

Are the peaceful protesters protesting these fed bldgs?If so,maybe they shouldn't,then they can say TrumpsGestapo has no business where they are marching since they (TG) supposedly are only there 2protect fed bldgs.Maybe protesters can turn in the fake ones causing violence?!

The 1st amendment has no time limit expiration. No expiration date. No time limits at all. Americans may protest BLM until the end of time itself under the 1st amendment. Peaceful protestors are protected by the 1st amendment. Even if some others are not being peaceful. The 1st

You mean rioters..why is a single penny of taxpayers dollars going to npr... nothing balanced about it..leftist 🤮

Good luck, our future depends on it!

The Left is deeply involved in identify politics combined with pathological emotional bias. The Right is blind with ego. We all know intellectual conversation solves issues. Try it, you might like it. VoteGold2020

I stand with Wall of Moms, and all honest protesters in Portland. I hope the rest of the country and other countries see what happens when the president gets involved in something he has no right to. Good Luck in court. trumpisatool

Stop this violence.

..and anarchy still runs rampant and supreme in Portland.. sue away 'wall of Moms' and 'don't shoot Portland'.. who cares? &by the way.. if those organization's don't sound like the latest newly formed Marxist groups (like BLM).. I'm a monkey's uncle..

I love how these people have money to do this and waste I wonder whose money it is George soros's

🤣🤣🤣🤣😆

I support this.

Terrorists have no rights.

TiffanyDCross Just like they did in Washington!

Register and vote

More 'peaceful' protests right PBS ? You are a joke and YOUR timeline will not age well

_resistance_usa Good. They are right

I'm guessing Soros is funding that one

So, the majority of people who live peacefully in Portland no longer have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness? NPR is CCCP.

peaceful protests must always be supported by both sides. but peaceful protest is a legal means

Portland is sure full of idiots.

Why don’t they just close off Portland, withdraw any resemblance of law-enforcement and restrict entry. They’ll destroy the city and will have to reside there, alone. No financial support and no funds to rebuild. Tough tactics but I’ll bet they’ll come to their senses.

👍👏👏👏

Hope he counter sues for defamation.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

What rights to rioters have?

If these rioters had half the courage those who died for their freedom did they would face tyranny and hate. Instead they cry when they are subject to control when they riot, burn and destroy.Protest but Stop destroying public property and you won't get gassed. Reap what you sow

Really ya'll need get off the street

They have every legal right to protect American cities from these terrorists

Hope the phony “wall of moms” gets peppered with rubber bullets every night. They are rioters and that’s all.

Meanwhile state/local police officers in Portland are falling far short of their legal authority & violating citizens' and business owners' rights by failing to protect them from riots, arson, & looting. Shame on the mayor. Don't burn your home just because the haters hate Trump.

Arrest as many of those protesters that are doing criminal activity as possible

This was a peaceful IED launched at the courthouse.

Take it to court, then just throw it out!

defundnpr

Sue the rioters

TiffanyDCross

npr Maybe cities should sue BLM for riots, spread of COVID, the dividing of country with Added racism against whites, all non blacks, Christians & for virtue signaling & bullying ppl into kneeling & Marxism ideas, for attacking 👮‍♀️,forcing motto as art on citizens & removing art

*Rioting

Ok Karen's, next time I hope they get the hose

THEY'RE NOT PROTESTORS!!!! They're friggin criminals....stop calling them protestors

🤣😂🤣😂 🖕🏻

They should be using live rounds on these terrorist rioters

Marxists are garbage

mimi67 Bill Barr has suit thrown out as scurrilous and beneath the dignity of the Imperial justices

Where is the social distancing? This is just as bad as the Chain Smokers concert!

50 days of violent demonstrations, spray paint everywhere on the once beautiful city, hundreds of businesses forced to close, thousands of jobs lost, attacks on the police with lasers, rocks, fireworks, and frozen water bottles-----but the so called 'wall of moms' is suing Trump.

😆 🤣 😂

Replace “RIOTERS” for Protesters

“Wall of Moms” were subsequently filmed handing projectiles to protesters throwing them are Federal officers. “Wall of Moms” is a contrived hoax for the media and propagandists of the Democrat Party.

Rioters aren’t protestors. Quit trying to destroy federal property and there won’t be any static

NPR IS LEFTIST DEMOCRAT PROPAGANDA. Dont believe their lies.

CRINGE

Good sue his arse!!! Biden2020ToSaveAmerica FlipTheSenateBlue2020

Move protest away from federal building Trump has no reason for troops if not near federal building Come on people protest smart

This will be thrown out faster than yesterday's trash.

It will get tossed. 40 US 1315. Plain and simple. I'm not a lawyer and I can see that.

Don’t want to be arrested? Don’t try to burn down a federal courthouse....🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

You say federal officers, I say government sanctioned terrorists.

Nice political stunt/photo op...but they have no legal leg to stand on. Glad NPR is giving their propaganda air time...showing just how much NPR is NOT a new agency.

You cannot sue federal law enforcement for actions that are required to do their job...in this case protecting the Federal building. Violent people attacked the building and a riot was declared. More than enough evidence to support this.

Local Portland authorities want Portland to burn , let them burn it.

In other news, they're now throwing IEDs at federal buildings. Good luck with that.

They’re full of shit, they push foward until the cops have no choice but to respond.. they literally will not leave the cop alone until they react

Dear Moms, you have traitors among you. The vandals who are violent & destructive sully your righteous protests. Identify & remove them. They are trump plants to discredit you & justify his invading mercenary army of thugs

Radical left is the enemy of the USA!!!

Defund FAKE NEWS NPR!!!

NotProtestorsRioters 🤯🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑

These are NOT protesters. Stop peddling PROPAGANDA! These are RIOTERS! They riot at night. They attack people and officers. They set fires. They are constantly attacking the federal courthouse. They are blinding officers with lasers. NPR is nothing but communist propaganda

Love the moms, but can you please do a report on the history of racism and the Portland Police, and PPB's issues with excessive force? Oregon has such a racist history. Some context might help people understand why this protest has gone on so long and will continue in PDX.

They are not protestors. Stop defending the anarchists.

AmiHorowitz exposes these insurrectionists. lies for them. Inside the Portland riots - this is what the media calls peaceful? via YouTube

is full on propaganda now; defending & providing cover for violent insurrectionists.

LOL good luck with that. Seems like a big waste of time but its a free country so sue away, The judge is going to be fed up 30 minutes into the trial, 'Get out of my court room' they will say.

You want standing we will give you standing.

They aren’t moms, they are terrorists.

these white liberal women are the worst. not many Black people, all radical white liberals. this is a white power issue.

The Article basically says that the “Moms” and the “Dont Shoot Group” are suing the federal government for doing their job. That’s it, that’s the article.

Despite NPR trying hard to be a propaganda arm to the left, everyone sees the footage of Portland & Seattle. All this anarchy will not defund the police. It will ultimately just re-elect Trump as Independents hate these riots. Get ready for another 4 year temper tantrum in Nov.

mindcaviar Thanks

They're going to lose and be arrested in the process.

LONG LIVE THE FEDERAL AGENTS. BLM AND ANTIFA=CRIMINALS

Bet there are a few good lawyer moms out there. Quarterback trump is toast.VoteForOurLives

Destroy public/federal property, go to jail. Very simple. These “Moms” define enablers. Like communism, PDX has daily flights to take you to Beijing. Maybe Mom can help you move.

Arrest the violent. And if these mothers try to protect them, arrest them too.

Protestors? Anyone in the right mind who can read graffiti knows these are not protestors. They are criminals!

They don’t know much about law fo they 🤦‍♂️

That makes well over 200 lawsuits file against the Trump Administration (aka Dysfunction Junction) since the he hijacked the White House.

This was the plan, lawsuits were inevitable with these rioters!

Awesome!!!!!

what's next 'wall of nuns?' and 'wall of puppies with terminal illnesses?' Give it a break already, nobody believes you anymore

It’s almost like they were sent by someone but who would want to make the BLM movement look bad? 🤔

Good luck!

Good luck to them.

GOOD.

realDonaldTrump's Gestapo 👎 TrumpRegimeIsVileAndEvil ☹️

The protesters aren’t Peaceful and they are trashing the city.

good they need to held accountable

You know, I’m down for any cause that helps people like me, but this shit is ridiculous. I hate all this social justice bullshit now. Too depressing and tiring. I need a vacation from this crap!! Don’t you

I wish people would go home and do something that matters

NPR-has turned into National Propaganda Radio, it is one building, if you leave the goddam building alone it ends, that simple,my friend drives by the bullshit everyday literally 2blocks,you asswipes should be held culpable for this misinformation.Someone is going to die

This country is bull shit. Looters and rioters should be put in prison

Rioters are suing Trump? Wtf

This is the fall of the American experiment

Innocent Portland mothers.. It's just a coincidence they use signs with symbols Antifa has been using since the Inauguration Day protests.. PortlandRiots PortlandMoms

Give me a break

NPRKarens refuse to acknowledge 60 nights of Violent Riots in Portland. 10 warnings prior to the response. NOR is Propaganda for Karens.

Hate to inform you, but that wall of moms & dads came willingly into an area of violent protests expecting to be immune from the consequences. If they remain after peaceful protesters leave, they are of that violent element. Why are these parents at a protest while fam is at home

Why not include /say BLM 🤷🏽‍♀️.....let me find out y’all don’t get it either 🙄

Sounds like a case of Mom Fragility. Filing lawsuits is a total sign of their Mom privilege

♥️

I wish them Godspeed! 💜

Protestors, domestic terrorists...same thing in Portland.

trumpRUSSIA removeracistsfrompower

The counterclaims should be fun.

Social distancing? But my kids can’t go to school or play sports?

This is funny.

The same moms who were enabling the vandalism the other night?

Domestic terrorists.

Rioters... Portland rioters.

what legal rights do rioters have?

You forfeit your rights when you act like terrorists.
