A group of racial justice protesters has reached a settlement with the federal government in a lawsuit accusing law enforcement agents sent by President Trump of using excessive force to protect a federal courthouse in 2020. The settlement requires the federal government to compensate the plaintiffs for injuries suffered at the hands of federal agents, as announced by the American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon.
The plaintiffs in the lawsuit included three military veterans, a college professor, several Black Lives Matter activists, and a man who claimed he was grabbed off a street for no reason blocks away from the federal courthouse in Portland.
