Veterans challenge Trump's orders on Portland saying 'that an illegal order'.


Following the black lives matter protest that has been going on in the America,the protest has taken it toll on Portland as the president president Donald Trump administration has ordered troops to the street of Portland to stop the protesters from their reported peaceful protesting.

According to the Guardian, a US veteran called Duston Obermeyer said that she noticed a phalanx of federal troops emerging from the federal court house. 

He said that the federal officers shot teargas at the crowd and pushed a protester to the ground with a force that made the protester slid across the pavement. 
Duston cited that the officials that were deployed by trump administration were assulting and violating the rights of protesters who were peacefully protesting in the streets of Portland.

He said that he was going out for his first peaceful protest when he heard that federal personnel in tactical gear emerging from unmarked cars with automatic weapons to pick up protesters.Obermeyer told the Guardian that the troops are not "not suppose to be coming and attacking protesters, They didn't even give any warning, there was no 'hey you need to move' hey backup, there was basically them walking out and assulting protester just to prove that they could"

Duston cited that the deployment of federal troops to stop the anti-racism and police brutality protest in Portland is a way that abuses human rights and disrespects the American constitution.
