... interviews conducted by OPB show officers are also detaining people on Portland streets who arent near federal property, nor is it clear that all of the people being arrested have engaged in criminal activity. Demonstrators like OShea and Pettibone said they think they were targeted by federal officers for simply wearing black clothing in the area of the demonstration.
OShea said he ran when he saw people wearing camouflage jump out of an unmarked vehicle. He said he hid when a second unmarked van pursued him.
