Does the lawsuit include the secret police?
Asking for a friend.

Asking for a friend.
They're named in the tweet. Reading is fundamental.
No identification.
No marked cars.
No charges for those arrested and detained and searched.
Yep: secret police.
Now I know where Winehole gets his propaganda from
You claimed they were enforcing laws.

Which laws?
No appearance before a magistrate, as required by Oregon law.
Interviews conducted by Oregon Public Broadcasting show officers are detaining people on Portland streets who aren't near federal property. Demonstrators such as O'Shea and Pettibone said they think they were targeted by federal officers for simply wearing black clothing in the area of the demonstration.
O'Shea said he ran when he saw people wearing camouflage jump out of an unmarked vehicle. He said he hid when a second unmarked van pursued him.
Video shot by O'Shea and provided to OPB shows a dark screen as O'Shea narrates the scene. Metadata from the video confirm the time and place of the protesters' account.
"Feds are driving around, grabbing people off the streets," O'Shea said on the video. "I didn't do anything f*****g wrong. I'm recording this. I had to let somebody know that this is what happens."
Pettibone did not escape the federal officers.
"I am basically tossed into the van," Pettibone said. "And I had my beanie pulled over my face so I couldn't see, and they held my hands over my head."
Pettibone and O'Shea both said they couldn't think of anything they might have done to end up targeted by law enforcement. They attend protests regularly, but they said they aren't "instigators." They don't spray-paint buildings, shine laser pointers at officers or do anything else other than attend protests, which law enforcement have regularly deemed "unlawful assemblies."
Blinded by his hat, in an unmarked minivan full of armed people dressed in camouflage and body armor who hadn't identified themselves, Pettibone said he was driven around downtown before being unloaded inside a building. He wouldn't learn until after his release that he had been inside the federal courthouse.
"It was basically a process of facing many walls and corners as they patted me down and took my picture and rummaged through my belongings," Pettibone said. "One of them said, 'This is a whole lot of nothing.' "
Pettibone said he was put into a cell. Soon after, two officers came in to read him his Miranda rights. They didn't tell him why he was being arrested. He said they asked him if he wanted to waive his rights and answer some questions, but Pettibone declined and said he wanted a lawyer. The interview was terminated, and about 90 minutes later he was released. He said he did not receive any paperwork, citation or record of his arrest.
"I just happened to be wearing black on a sidewalk in downtown Portland at the time," Pettibone said. "And that apparently is grounds for detaining me."

Trump ramps up the fascism.
Chump marches on repeating his propaganda for other repeaters to repeat.
Do you not realize you do that every day?
Trump's DHS goons just gassed another peaceful protest
"just graffiti ya'll"
Yep, Federal troops are escalating the situation. That's probably as designed.
Portland has had a solid 45 days of peaceful, mostly incident free protesting.
calling everyone encountered by law enforcement rioters and violent anarchists is cartoonishly simple-minded.
it's true
Ramping up the fascism
May indeed be the point of pointing at a crowd and calling them all rioters and violent anarchists.
Some QAnon supporters like to fantasize about rounding up other Americans and executing them at Gitmo. This sort of street theater is crafted perfectly for them.
