"The man accused of shooting two Portland police officers on the night of January 19 let loose a brief but largely nonsensical political tirade at his arrangement Wednesday morning. Eric Oelkers was indicted on 12 counts, including attempted aggravated murder, first-degree assault, unlawful use of a firearm, and being a felon in possession of a gun. According to the Oregonian, he referenced artificial intelligence and suggested authorities were using "neurological transmitters" against him."
"On Wednesday, a federal judge barred federal immigration officers in Oregon from arresting people they identify as immigrants without a warrant or without finding that the person is likely to flee or escape. If you remember the Associated Press scoop from two weeks ago that found federal agents had been instructed to arrest people based on administrative warrants under certain conditions, without getting a judicial warrant from a judge, it's a little bonkers to consider that agents in Oregon have been arresting people."
