Oregon Gov. Kate Brown (D) declared a state of emergency ahead of this weekend’s far-right rally in Portland. The decision also comes after protesters and police clashed during demonstrations over the grand jury decision not to directly indict any officer involved in the killing of Breonna Taylor in Louisville, Ky.
Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB) reports that Brown made the decision as the far right group, Proud Boys, is organizing a political rally expected to bring thousands to the city. Under the declaration of emergency, the Oregon State Police and Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office will have authority to handle the rally.
