State of Oregon sues Federal government.

Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum (D) has sued several federal agencies over the detention of protesters in Portland, Rosenblum's office announced Friday.

Over the past week, heavily armed agents of the Department of Homeland Security have descended on the city over the objection of local and state officials, claiming their presence is necessary to restore order amid protests.

The lawsuit against the United States Department of Homeland Security, the United States Marshals Service, the United States Customs and Border Protection, and the Federal Protection Service accuses the agencies of illegally detaining citizens without probable cause.

It specifically cites the July 16 case of Mark Pettibone, who was detained by undercover agents in military fatigues and pulled into an unmarked minivan while he was walking down the sidewalk.
