NEW: Acting Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security Ken Cuccinelli confirmed to NPR that federal agents took at least one Portland protester into an unmarked vehicle to be questioned.
"Feds are driving around, grabbing people off the streets," O'Shea said on the video."I didn't do anything f*****g wrong. I'm recording this. I had to let somebody know that this is what happens.""I am basically tossed into the van," Pettibone said."And I had my beanie pulled over my face so I couldn't see, and they held my hands over my head.
"It was basically a process of facing many walls and corners as they patted me down and took my picture and rummaged through my belongings," Pettibone said."One of them said, 'This is a whole lot of nothing.'"
