City officials in Portland, meanwhile, have expressed concern about the influx of federal law enforcement, saying that they did not request assistance from federal agencies, and that the presence of the federal troops has only served to escalate an already tense situation. Protesters have been grabbed off the street by federal police in camouflage and body armor, and forced into unmarked vans.
Pettibone said he could not think of anything he had done that could serve as grounds for arrests, nor did he receive any paperwork, citation, or record of his arrest. LaBella’s mother told Oregon Live that her son required facial reconstruction surgery following the attack. “He still has a tube in his skull to drain the blood,” she said Sunday morning.
