In the same statement he legitimized the lie that DHS was telling that the two people boarder patrol shot were gang affiliated. I swear libs just turn their brains off

Lmao what a bunch of bullshit. The police lying to make the people harmed by ice look like dangerous criminals is absolutely relevant. Police are not and will never be on our side.

What about him backing up the (now proven false) allegations that the people Boarder Patrol shot were gang members?

PPB is not against ICE, they are against ICE making them look bad.

Bootlicker

Ryan is a clown

Not to mention the labor violations… seems bad to have a council president accused of retaliating against the staff union

Anyone going to bring up Smith’s being accused of union busting? I think retaliating against the city council staff union is disqualifying.

Smith isn’t part of the progressive caucus

God this is awful

I imagine if these people didn’t have weekly garbage pick up their dwellings would accumulate a lot of trash too…

We know this policy is cruel and ineffective BUT we’re going to do it anyway? What’s wrong with you?

Totally speculation but it might be the strained relationship with local police. PPB is heavily scrutinized/disliked in Portland, we have a new much more left and critical city council. Seems like PPB doesn’t want to get dragged into ICE’s mess and having less backup might make them less bold?

Yall are willing to abandon the interests of a demographic (LGBTQ+ people) where over 80% voted for Harris? That seems incredibly foolish.

As someone who lives in Portland and votes for socialist city council members, this article sucks.

This is the way. It makes no sense for critical services like Trimet not to be controlled by our local government.
