(Portland Police via AP)PORTLAND, Ore. – Investigators have found no evidence that terrorism, politics or any bias motivated the rampage of a 64-year-old Oregon man who witnesses said repeatedly drove into people along streets and sidewalks in Portland, killing a 77-year-old woman and injuring nine other people, police said. Police identified the driver as Paul Rivas of Oregon City. The driver hit pedestrian after pedestrian while speeding down residential streets at up to 60 mph, police spokesman Derek Carmon said. One man with a head injury couldn't remember whether he had gotten out of his car before being struck, police said.

Hours after the deal was announced, protesters and federal agents faced off Wednesday night near the Mark O. Hatfield Federal Courthouse, the Oregonian paper reported. Thousands of demonstrators crowded downtown Portland, drawing dozens of agents in Department of Homeland Security and Customs and Border Protection uniforms into the streets. Many demonstrators are peaceful, but smaller numbers have thrown fireworks, flares, rocks and ball bearings at federal agents, used green lasers to blind them and spread graffiti over the face of the federal courthouse. Many protesters want reduced funding for the Portland Police Bureau and are angry that officers used tear gas on protesters multiple times before federal agents arrived. Brown said the departure of the federal agents was a chance to address that anger and begin to make improvements in community policing.

A federal judge specifically blocked U.S. agents from arresting or using physical force against journalists and legal observers at the ongoing Portland, Oregon, protests that have sparked confrontations between local officials and President Donald Trump over the limits of federal power. U.S. Judge Michael Simon made his ruling late Thursday, a day after Portland's mayor was tear-gassed by federal agents as he made an appearance outside a federal courthouse during raucous demonstrations. The state of Oregon is seeking an order limiting federal agents arrest powers during the demonstrations. Department of Homeland Security acting Secretary Chad Wolf denied that federal agents were inflaming the situation in Portland. The court hearing focused on the actions of the more than 100 federal agents responding to protests outside the Portland courthouse.
