Portland protesters sue Trump over DHS deployment to quell riots
(Worthy News) – Portland protesters filed a lawsuit against President Trump and the Homeland Security Department on Wednesday, saying the deployment of additional federal officers to quell attacks on the federal courthouse was illegal and unconstitutional.
