It has begun. The stripping away of our constitution. The rights of the American people to protest and the freedom of the press are being taken away by the Trump Administration. One-step closer to Donald Trump's dictatorship.

Appeals court temporarily halts protections for journalists, legal observers in Portland

A three-judge panel on Thursday temporarily halted protections for journalists and legal observers covering the unrest In Portland, Oregon.

Last week, federal Judge Michael Simon ruled that journalists and legal observers were exempt from federal officers' physical force, arrest, or other treatment if the officers "reasonably know" that a person is a journalist or legal observer.

But in a 2-1 decision, the judges on the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with the government that Judge Simon’s initial ruling was too broad.

“Given the order’s breadth and lack of clarity, particularly in its non-exclusive indicia of who qualifies as “Journalists” and “Legal Observers,” appellants have also demonstrated that, in the absence of a stay, the order will cause irreparable harm to law enforcement efforts and personnel," two of the three judges wrote. "This means that journalists could be subjected to the same physical force as that of the individuals participating."

Attorney William Barr said in a statement that he thought the decision was "an important step."

"Last night, the U.S. Court of Appeals for Ninth Circuit entered an order temporarily blocking an injunction entered by a federal district court in Portland that imposed extensive but vaguely defined constraints on federal law enforcement personnel striving to protect the federal courthouse and surrounding areas in Portland from destruction," Barr said.

“In practical effect, the district court’s order prevented the federal government from effectively addressing violent mobs through the general crowd-control measures that are required, and it unacceptably increased the risk of serious injury to federal law enforcement officers. The Ninth Circuit’s decision is an important step that will allow federal officers to continue carrying out their important security responsibilities without being subject to untenable conditions.”

Federal agents from the Department of Homeland Security and US Marshals have been deployed to the area around the federal courthouse in Portland for the majority of the summer in response to unrest in the aftermath of the George Floyd's killing.

The Department of Homeland Security has come under heavy scrutiny for the deployment of federal agents there and journalists have extensively documented their role.

    Quoting Tmptrzz:
    What happened in Portland this past weekend is a real tragedy and someone needs to step up and get the violence under control there. As far as Barr goes he needs to mind his business, as he's getting involved in so many things that he shouldn't be. He is supposed to be the PEOPLES LAWYER, not the POTUS's lawyer!!!
We mustn't lose sight of what is truly going on. What is truly going on is that Donald Trump the Trump Administration the Trump supporters and law enforcement itself is trying to crush this movement for reform within law enforcement. That is what is truly going on here. And we mustn't lose sight of this.

Donald Trump and his administration are purposefully trying to distort and dismantle a just cause for reform in our law enforcement. Because Donald Trump doesn't want reform in law enforcement. Donald Trump wants a police state. To crush anyone who opposes him. Because Donald Trump is a wannabe dictator. A sociopath a pathological liar a racist.

You are absolutely right my friend. Thank you for saying what needs to be said. Some of it is just criminals taking advantage of the situation. But some of it is peaceful protesters being pushed beyond their limits with the continued brutality from law enforcement. And some of it is racist violent hatred incited by Donald Trump through his Trump supporters.

Yet another step towards the police state.........fascism abounds in the US. It's a worry Rick, especially when so many people are blindly welcoming it with open arms.

Anybody with half a brain knows it is only out for itself, family and anybody who can do for it / it's family. The rest of us do not matter.

Humans are the most dangerous animals on earth.

If only animals had the ability to know when to keep away from us humans they would be better off.

I don't see you presenting any "facts" to prove he's wrong. Tell us what the facts are that are so wrong.

BTW trump isn't a reliable source for facts - he's strictly fiction talking out his ass most of the time.
