Reports: Portland Federal Buildings Evacuated

The Mark O Hatfield Federal Courthouse in Portland.

There are reports that several federal facilities in Portland have been evacuated due to credible bomb threats.

The FBI of Oregon is investigating a car bomb threat was made against federal offices in Portland. The threat, which was received Thursday, warned of the intention to use a car bomb to target federal property in Portland, according to two law enforcement officials. 

The threat came after the 84th night of violent riots in Portland.



The Portland office of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court was closed as was the Mark O. Hatfield Federal courthouse, which was the site of weeks of violent protests last month. Additionally, two child care facilities in Portland have been advised to close through Friday because they’re located inside federal buildings.

I thought the violence was supposed to stop when the feds left Portland.
