According to NBC News, "Portland has seen sustained protests following the killing of George Floyd, the Black man whose death in custody in Minneapolis triggered global demonstrations against police brutality and systemic racism."


Mom's were seen at the protest chanting"Feds stay clear, Mom's are here!" and "Feds go home!" NBC News reports.


Tear gas and flash bangs couldn't keep these mom's from protecting protestors.


35-year old Bev Barnum, the organizer behind 'Wall of Mom's' told BuzzFeed that "We are about protecting peaceful citizens’ right to protest,".


This is what current President, Donald Trump had to say about the matter via Twitter

Oregon Attorney General, Ellen Rosenblum has sought out a restraining order, against the agents of Homeland Security, U.S Marshals Service, U.S, and the Federal Protection Services from making anymore arrest of protestors without probable cause.
