"PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Oregon State Police troopers responding to the ongoing protest-related unrest in Portland have been federally deputized, state police confirm.

State police tell KOIN 6 News they’re working with the U.S. Attorney’s Office to review arrests made by troopers assigned to Portland for potential prosecution. The troopers assigned to Portland have been cross-deputized by the U.S. Marshals.

The Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt previously announced his office would presumptively decline to prosecute certain misdemeanor charges stemming from the protests, a move which resulted in criticism from law enforcement agencies, including state police in mid-August.
“OSP is not criticizing any officials and we respect the authority of the [Multnomah County] District Attoney, but to meet the Governor’s charge of bringing violence to an end we will use all lawful methods at our disposal,” an Oregon State Police spokesperson said."

1. So, this means...

...that the state police the Governor sent in to prevent federal troops from being brought in are now, effectively, federal troops???

2. I won't claim to be the right person to interpret it.

However it seems that it gives the State Police the authority to make arrests based on federal law to give them more teeth in arresting protesters after the cities DA said that he would not prosecute a number of crimes that were committed during recent protests where police had made arrests.
