“I was asking if you are advocating for Federal Agents, like Portland has. I have no idea how it is helping. And it seems to be at least borderline unconstitutional. Is it a dress rehearsal?”
It seems like they are vandalizing federal property. Now, I am not sure if that changes anything from a legal perspective. But at least some can understand as to why the federal government is getting involved.
Furthermore, if the population is being threatened by vandalists and looters, and the local municipality and the state are refusing to take action, while it might not change much legally, it would seem justified for the feds to move in and establish normal order.
