More than two dozen local, state and federal law enforcement agencies, including the
FBI and the Federal Protective Service, were in Portland, Oregon, on Saturday to help
police there monitor a right-wing rally that's expected to draw demonstrators from around the U.S.
Self-described anti-fascists have vowed to confront the rally while leaders from the far right urged their followers to turn out in large numbers to protest the arrests of six members of right-wing groups in the run-up to the event.
In a video he livestreamed on
Facebook, Gibson accused the police of playing politics by arresting him but not the masked demonstrators who beat up conservative blogger Andy Ngo at a June 29 rally that drew national attention to this small, liberal city.
