Description

Tear gas inside the downtown Multnomah County Detention Center got much worse once federal officers showed up in Portland on July 1, 2020, the evidence indicated, U.S. Magistrate Judge Stacie F. Beckerman wrote in a 180-page decision.

A class-action suit can proceed against Multnomah County, ex-Sheriff Mike Reese and two former corrections supervisors alleging they failed to protect prisoners from tear gas that seeped into the county’s downtown Portland jail during 2020 protests, a federal judge ruled.
