Now the Oregon State Police troopers assigned to help the police in Portland have now been cross-deputize by the federal government. This means that the US Attorney's Office can lodge charges against those arrested by deputized troopers.
KGW's Pat Dorris explained what this means for rioters:
"This is basically the ground changing under the feet of the protesters. because when the state police come in and are cross-deputized by the [U.S. Marshals], they're able to make arrests under the federal law. And I'm told there is something similar to interfering with a police officer under the federal law. [Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt] will not prosecute someone for that charge, but the U.S. Attorney's Office has been much more aggressive at holding people accountable and prosecuting for all kinds of charges. So, I think you're going to see a lot more of that start to happen as soon as these officers arrive."

Federal authorities are already filing charges.
Ship them to tent city in the middle of the Mojave, issue them pink underwear and feed them bologna sammichs while they await trial.

Mike Schmidt has been made irrelevant. Pick up your balls on the way out.
