Description

Some in Oregon's criminal justice system believe Donald Trump will zero in on Portland and other West Coast cities as he did during 2020's racial justice protests after George Floyd's murder by a police officer in Minneapolis. Here, thousands of protesters gathered in downtown Portland Saturday, July 25, 2020, for the 59th consecutive night of protests. Fencing around the Mark O. Hatfield Federal Courthouse continued to be a flashpoint, as protesters worked to dismantle it and federal officers eventually responded with force.

Donald Trump’s second presidency will likely mean a new U.S. attorney for Oregon but otherwise presidents typically have a muted impact on a state’s criminal justice system, though some observers point to Trump’s past targeting of Portland’s protest culture as a sign he may be more attuned to what’s happening in Oregon than other administrations.
