Renewed Clashes Involving Federal Agents, Protesters Erupt in Portland

VOA News

   Disturbances erupted again Friday in Portland, Oregon, where the
   presence and actions of federal officers are raising concerns of a
   possible constitutional crisis on the grounds the agents have been
   deployed without local consent.

   The renewed clashes follow a judge's imposition of a temporary
   restraining order against the agents in response to a lawsuit filed by
   the American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon.
