JOSE DIAZ-BALART: Meanwhile in Portland, Oregon, clashes between protesters and federal agents continue in the sixth week of protests following the death of George Floyd. Protesters vandalized city buildings, also federal buildings, and were dispersed with tear gas by federal agents wearing no insignia. The city’s mayor condemned the presence of government troops in Portland, because he said that the protests were diminishing until these federal troops arrived.

FELICIDAD AVELEYRA: There is still controversy surrounding the deployment of federal agents to Chicago in order to, allegedly, counter violence on the streets. According to local media, the government will deploy 150 agents in the midst of rejection from those who believe that they will act undercover in order to arrest protesters without due process- something that has already been denounced in Portland, Oregon with arrests during protests against racism, in the sixth week of protests after the death of George Floyd. The troops launched tear gas and detained individuals (placing them) in unmarked vehicles- something similar to a kidnapping.
