The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) on Wednesday filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, alleging federal officers used excessive force against demonstrators in Portland.

Federal officers were deployed to the city in early July after rioters targeted the Mark O. Hatfield Courthouse, a federal building, with little intervention from local law enforcement.
