US border security confirms detaining Portland protesters after reports of 'kidnappings'

Washington, July 18 (Sputnik) US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents detained protesters in Portland, Oregon, and took them away for questioning at a location deemed safe from violent mobs, the agency said in a press release on Saturday.
The agency's statement is in response to US media reports and images on social media showing federal agents in military gear taking several protesters away in unmarked vehicles amid protests near a federal court house on Thursday night.
"CBP agents had information indicating the person in the video was suspected of assaults against federal agents or destruction of federal property," the release said on Friday. "Once CBP agents approached the suspect, a large and violent mob moved towards their location. For everyone’s safety, CBP agents quickly moved the suspect to a safer location for further questioning."
