    They absolutely can, by federal law enforcement for federal crimes-and its happening right now.

    Once again the only restriction is that the feds can't compel the locals to enforce federal laws.

    You may not like Trump, or not know the facts, or both-but it changes nothing.

    Then you failed to read it or view the video. I can't watch it for you.

    I'm glad federal police are arresting rioters. this is a good thing Donald Trump is doing and anybody who doesn't like their businesses are properties burned down will agree with this so that's anybody who isn't a rioter.

    The fact that the far left doesn't like it is a good thing. Separatists and rebels normally don't like when the rebellion it's squashed.

    He isn't just talking about federal property. Not sure why you don't understand that yet. They are on the streets arresting people with no charges, no warrant, and no probable cause, not just in relation to federal property.

    That's exactly right, their "resistance" isn't going the way they thought it would.

    Meanwhile peaceful Americans are glad to see the violence and lawlessness targeted.

    Always fascinating when those who believe in states rights and object to federal encroachment become apathetic when President Trump embraces autocracy.

    You are conflating 2 issues.

    In portland the protection of federal property is absolutely justified and warranted.

    In dem run slums, the feds can enforce federal laws.

    Both are happening as you read this.

    You are the one doing the conflating here. Trump wants MORE than just this. And Federal officers have already done MORE than just this in Portland. This is equivalent of a felon trying to defend himself by saying, "Well, you know, look at all this legal stuff I've done!"

    No conflation on my part-in both Portland and these other cities-the feds are entirely justified and warranted in their actions.

    I may be a sumbidge, but iIm not violent, so very unlikely that I will be burning looting rioting stealing assaulting so as to be in a position to be getting busted in the mouth by those trying to preserve law and order. So, yes.

    Owning property without having it destroyed, or stolen by violent rioters, the liberty to not be assaulted by violent rioters, and freedom of movement in public places.

    Wrong, expect more. These are the ones arrested by feds and charged with Federal Crimes earlier this month. I was listening to federal update yesterday they have 15 in custody right now and charging with federal crimes.

    Hey I'm with you now, burn the city to the ground, kill the businesses downtown just don't come ask for federal dollars to fix and don't touch federal buildings.

    I don't think anybody believes in states rights at the expense of individual rights.

    If you have a separatist organization like BLM more antifa taking over parts of your city and rioting your rights are being violated by the in action of your state and local officials.

    The federal government's job is to protect people's constitutional rights. This should be the job of state and local governments too but when they choose not to because they sympathize with the separatists they tend to not do their job. That's what the federal government is for.

    I don't think they can prove their claims.

    Have you got some sourced quotes by President Trump that support this claim?

    This isn't about last time which was the federal property in DC which is protected by the military. Federal law enforcement acts within cities on a daily basis and it is THEIR responsibility to protect federal assets especially since local law enforcement has been ordered not by city officials.

    Why don't cry out about the RIOTERS STOPPING THE RIOTING then the federal law enforcement would not have to be there in the first place.

    Trump is clearly trying to hijack the election under the pretense of maintaining law and order.

    But this has nothing to do with law enforcement and everything with the 2020 election.

    Wake up and smell the coffee!

    OBVIOUSLY these law enforcement forces are only send in to be employed at the polling stations during the 2020 election

    To do what? God only knows.

    But I suspect it won't be for the benefit of a fair election.

    Anyone planning to vote for Joe Biden better be warned; Trump's troops will make it as difficult as possible.

    Trump will send as many ''law enforcement'' troops as possible into democrat run cities, instructed to cause as much mayhem as possible, all with intent to suppress the democratic vote. (For Biden.)

    Chaos on the streets of democratic run cities will benefit Trump in other cities where he is expected to get majority vote..

    Trumps coup is well and truly underway.

    Mayhem is already there. Ive spent 10 total minutes on this topic and I can see that. I've seen one story in CBS and yes, the locals have failed, feds need to take over. I say this based solely on the video I saw out of Portland. Holy crap! That city has been destroyed! I guess that's great for the destroyers, but I'm fairly certain many want their city back. The right to protest has been conflated with the right to destroy the community and openly attack any agents of the government .
