Department of Homeland Security: Stop Using "Less-Lethal" Crowd-Control Weapons on Protestors and Medics.

This past summer, during protests in Portland, Oregon, local police officers and federal law enforcement agents attacked the very people they are sworn to protect. Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) was on the ground in Portland, and in our just-released report, we collected evidence of targeted and deliberate use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and other crowd-control weapons on volunteer medics working to treat protestors and protestors themselves. This is the first time in PHR's 34-year history that we have documented human rights abuses of this type and magnitude here, in the United States.

Please stand with PHR as we send a message to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) calling for an inquiry into the conduct of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) personnel during their operations in Portland.
