Three federal agents who were sent to Portland, Ore., to try to help quell
the city’s violent protests were “likely left permanently blinded” from
clashes, White House officials said Friday.

“A federal agent’s hand was impaled by planted nails, another federal
agent was shot with a pellet gun, leaving a wound deep to the bone, and
tragically, three federal officers were likely left permanently blinded by
the rioters using lasers pointed directly into their eyes,” White House
press secretary Kayleigh McEnany told reporters Friday.

All five of the injured federal agents were hurt Monday during ongoing
protests at the Multnomah County Justice Center and a nearby federal
courthouse in Oregon’s largest city.

President Trump’s press secretary warned, “The Trump administration will
not stand by and allow anarchy in our streets.”

The federal agents were hurt during a confrontation late Monday as a crowd
of more than 1,000 protesters descended on the federal courthouse, Fox
News reported.

In addition to targeting the federal agents, the demonstrators tossed
fireworks at the federal courthouse, where one person also threatened to
cut off the building’s water supply, according to the report.

Richard Cline, deputy director of the Federal Protective Service, told
reporters at a press conference Tuesday that the 1,000-plus “rioters” also
started to remove plywood coverings outside the Hatfield Federal
Courthouse — and also threw objects through its windows.

Several fires also broke out during the melee and protesters vandalized
the building with spray paint while blocking traffic and nearby
intersections, Cline said.

“When officers responded to put out these fires, glass bottles were thrown
and lasers — which can cause permanent blindness — were shined in their
eyes,” Cline said. “We have three officers who currently have eye
injuries, and they may not recover sight in those eyes from those laser
attacks.”

FPS officials have since reportedly purchased protective eyewear for the
federal officers to wear.

The laser attacks on federal agents continued late Thursday as an
estimated 2,000 protesters again flooded the streets outside the justice
center and adjacent courthouse.

In response, more than 100 federal agents shot tear gas and fired impact
munitions to disperse the crowd, The Oregonian reported.
