It appears that the federal agents occupying Portland have people embedded with them charged with the task of producing stories presenting the government’s version of events. Ironically, this was the sort of work JD Vance did in Iraq before he decided he was against that war.

Federal officers were flanked by videographers, toting professional equipment and wearing high-visibility vests.
They filmed from behind the lines of officers, capturing the show of force. At least two drones swept over the scenes.
