There's a lot to break down in your post.
1) "militarised Homeland Security police": These were
Federal officers sent by Homeland Security to protect a
Federal Court House.

2)
Post by Homeland Security describing the 47 days of continuous public unrest in Portland, Oregon.
“The city of Portland has been under siege for 47 straight days by a violent mob while local political leaders refuse to restore order to protect their city. Each night, lawless anarchists destroy and desecrate property, including the federal courthouse, and attack the brave law enforcement officers protecting it."“This siege can end if state and local officials decide to take appropriate action instead of refusing to enforce the law. DHS will not abdicate its solemn duty to protect federal facilities and those within them. Again, I reiterate the Department’s offer to assist local and state leaders to bring an end to the violence perpetrated by anarchists,” said Acting Secretary Chad Wolf"
As you can see, thanks to the timeline provided by the DHS, it is not the first time the Hatfield Courthouse in Portland has been targeted: 29/05; 30/05; 01/06; 07/06; 08/06; 10/06; 13/06; 17/06; 25/06; 01/07; 02/07; 03/07; 04/07; 05/07; 09/07; 12/07; 15/07
The Edith Green-Wenell Wyatt Federal Building was also vandalised multiple times (see timeline). Attempted breach on 14/07.
To say the Feds used unreasonable and disproportionate violence, and that they were arresting "protestors" for no reason is preposterous.
These "protestors" were continuously attacking
federal buildings and a courthouse. Homeland Security sends
federal officers to protect
federal buildings and you the media are surprised?! And this to you is "Fascism"?!?! Give me a ****ing break.
Nancy Pelosi claiming these are stormtroopers (lol)... they're federal officers protecting federal assets.
3) Portland Police statement on 18/07:
Portland Police Statement 17/07:
Obviously what is continuing to happen, much like during the protests immediately following George Floyd's murder, is that while vastly peaceful, these protests are being hijacked by violent anarchists.
To say that Federal officers protecting Federal buildings and arresting violent rioters for "no reason" is in any way "fascist" is totally disingenuous. They're doing their job.
That's their "legal basis".And somehow, according to Oregon leaders, it's Trump's fault a Federal officer was injured?!?!?!
