The DOJ admitted it lied about federal agents in Portland, exaggerating their numbers in order to overstate tensions at the ICE facility and justify troop deployment. Such deliberate lying futher shows the federal government's complete disregard for the rule of law.

A federal “wildfire prevention” bill may open nearly half of Oregon’s land to increased logging and grazing while aggresively weakening environmental review and local input. Critics call it what it is: a federal land grab disguised as forest management.
