The suit, filed Monday by Wall of Moms, Don't Shoot Portland and a number of individuals, alleges that federal agents have used violence to"stamp out peaceful and constitutionally protected protests" and that their mere presence as a federal domestic security force is unconstitutional.This month, President Donald Trump sent federal agents to Portland as protests continue after the death of George Floyd in police custody.
Ahead of the July Fourth weekend, the Trump administration dispatched teams of federal agents to the city -- the President said the effort was to protect federal property but protesters say the action itself has fueled the public's outrage.
