Versions of the claim received substantial attention on social media after reports of unidentified federal law enforcement agents detaining protesters in Portland.
The identity of the anonymous federal officers — referred to as"secret police"— was scrutinized in the media after violent encounters with protesters in Portland. The mystery of the coded patches on agents' shoulders received special attention on social media.
"There has been a tremendous amount of false information out there," Morgan said. "It is offensive to refer to these dedicated men and women that are out there as law enforcement professionals to make that reference," he continued, referring to the nickname"unidentified masked storm troopers" he claimed to have heard from the media.
"Deputy Director Cline said he doesn't have his officers wear name tags because they're being doxxed. That's exactly right. That's another thing that's absolutely disgusting. So, they're not only jeopardizing the lives of the agents, but they're jeopardizing the lives of their families as they're putting out their home information and they're suggesting that individuals go to their homes," said Morgan of protesters.
