\n The Department of Justice wants to lift a judge\u2019s order that protects journalists during the chaotic Portland protests \u2014 calling it \u201can instrument of wrong\u201d and claiming some are \u201cmasquerading\u201d as scribes in order to commit illegal acts.<\/p>\n

The temporary restraining order was issued last week and bars federal agents in the city from targeting the press, as well as allows journalists to remain in place when crowds are ordered to disperse, Politico reported.<\/p>\n

But the Justice Department is fighting the order by Oregon federal court Judge Michael Simon, in filings Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndividuals are abusing the TRO to masquerade as members of the press and evade lawful orders, or actively participating in protest activities and even illegal acts while holding themselves out to be members of the press under the protection of the TRO,\u201d their lawyers wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven individuals who are not expressly taking advantage of the TRO are often within crowds of protesters or between officers and active protesters making it incredibly difficult and dangerous to observe the restrictions while implementing crowd control measures.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Justice Department lawyers added, \u201cSavvy protesters abuse the TRO to evade lawful orders, impede law enforcement, and perpetrate crimes. The TRO has become \u2018an instrument of wrong,\u2019 and must be dissolved,\u201d DOJ attorneys argued.<\/p>\n

The filing also includes declarations from seven senior officials and officers claiming protesters wearing \u201cpress\u201d badges have assaulted officers, interfered with them, damaged the fence surrounding the federal Mark O. Hatfield courthouse, or tried to scale it, Politico said.<\/p>\n

It also cited an online video allegedly showing a purported journalist at the protests saying they have \u201ca bunch more press passes to give out to people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Matthew Borden, an attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union\u2019s Oregon chapter, which is part of the case, said doling out fake press passes was \u201cill-advised and rare\u201d but that it \u201cis not probable cause for arrest or dispersal, or justification for brutally and deliberately attacking reporters.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe restraining order simply orders federal agents to abide by the law, which is to not arrest, threaten to arrest, or use physical force against journalist unless the government has probable cause to believe that such individual has committed a crime,\u201d Borden told Politico in a statement. \u201cIf the government objects to the order, they\u2019re making clear what is already known: the government has no intention of following the law.\u201d<\/p>\n

The filing comes on the heels of a deal brokered between Oregon Gov. Kate Brown and the Department of Homeland Security to withdraw federal agents from Portland in phases, with state law enforcement tasked with setting up and maintaining a perimeter around the courthouse.<\/p>\n

A court hearing is scheduled in the case Friday morning.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
