Why this petition matters

Started by harmony Taggart

Homeland Security has sent in unidentified military personnel to stop the now 52 consecutive nights of protests. Protestors have been dragged into unmarked vans by these agents, had their eyes covered during transport, and have not been told why they have been taken. These agents do not have warrants, and are not reading the protestors their Miranda rights. The DHS refuses to call these agents out of Portland despite Oregon officials asking them to. 

Here are recent articles that go into more detail:

Sign this petition to demand that the DHS take the military out of Portland, Oregon and to stop their plan of sending out more military agents in other cities across the United States.
