NOT A JOKE: Portland Officials Demand Feds Remove Security Fencing Because it ‘Blocks a Bike Lane’

posted by Hannity Staff - 7.26.20

Portland officials filed a cease-and-desist letter against the federal government this week; claiming their security fencing “blocks a bike lane.”

The document claims the barriers “are both unpermitted and represent a hazard to the traveling public.”

“Unidentified agents of the federal government have placed unpermitted fencing and jersey barriers in the city’s right-of-way outside of the Hatfield Federal Courthouse,” the letter states. “The fencing and barriers in the right-of-way create a hazard for Portlanders by blocking the bike lane on SW Main, which is the premiere bike facility into downtown Portland.”

“A spokesperson for the U.S. General Services Administration, which received the letter from Portland’s transportation head and its chief deputy city attorney, did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request seeking comment,” reports Fox News.

“Since its installment, demonstrators have attempted to tear it down, throwing fireworks over the perimeter. In at least one instance, they lit a large fire between the barrier and the courthouse, according to social media and reports,” adds Fox.

The Portland Police Department struggled to contain another night of civil unrest in the city Monday; confirming officers were repeatedly attacked with glass bottles and ball bearings.

“Members of the crowd are still not dispersing despite numerous orders to leave and opportunities to do so,” posted the Department on Twitter. “To those on N Fenwick/Lombard, disperse to the North. This has been declared a riot and you are being ordered to disperse.”

“Some of the items thrown at officers include paint, ball bearings, and glass bottles, which are all criminal acts,” adds the Portland PD.
