| Jul 23, 2020 at 19:37 | comment | added | Just a guy | @GeorgeWhite In today's NY Times, several experts, including Professor Vladeck weigh in. He says, "it’s not remotely clear to me what federal laws are going unenforced." nytimes.com/2020/07/23/upshot/… | |

| Jul 23, 2020 at 4:45 | comment | added | Just a guy | @GeorgeWhite The various subsections of § 1315(2) only apply "While engaged in the performance of official duties..." It seems to stretch this definition past breaking to apply it to driving around Portland looking for trouble. | |

| Jul 23, 2020 at 1:48 | comment | added | George White | @Justaguy - thanks - that answer has a subheading "Okay, but which federal laws are being enforced?" but doesn't end up providing any cites to federal law. It only cites an Oregon law to give feds the right to enforce state law that might or might not apply. Good article but doesn't get to the bottom of it for me. | |
| Jul 23, 2020 at 1:08 | comment | added | George White | @user6726 - you say "or that people are blocks from the scene when they commit their offense" - I am not assuming any offense was committed and I believe people many blocks from any federal property were arrested and doubt that an individual officer who saw a violation followed an individual protestor many blocks before arresting him/her. More generally, crowd control at a distance from federal property is not a federal function. | |

| Jul 23, 2020 at 0:39 | comment | added | user6726 | Is your allegation that detained people are taken blocks from the scene of the crime, or that people are blocks from the scene of the crime when they commit their offense (ergo prima facie not guilty of depradation of US property)? If they arrest a person at the scene, they are allowed to detain them at a location away from the scene, if that's what you're getting at. | |
