Portland Demonstrators Ordered Not to Protest Again as Condition of Release from Jail
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Black Lives Matter protests continue across the United States. In
Portland, Oregon, protesters arrested by federal agents on even the most
minor charges are being ordered by federal judges to sign a pledge not
to protest again as a condition of their release from jail. One attorney
with the ACLU called the orders "sort of hilariously unconstitutional."

On Tuesday, a White House official said the Trump administration is in
talks with Oregon's governor on a plan to draw down federal agents in
Portland. Meanwhile, Seattle's mayor said Tuesday that federal agents
have pulled out of her city.
