The civil unrest in Portland turned violent Wednesday night.

The civil unrest and tensions in Portland, Oregon, boiled over again Wednesday night as federal agents sprayed tear gas into a crowd that included Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler.

"The reason this is important is it is not just happening in Portland … we're on the front line here in Portland."

At around 12:30 a.m. local time, the Portland Police Department declared the protest a riot and asked people to leave.

"Failure to adhere to this order may subject you to arrest or citation, or riot control agents, including, but not limited to, tear gas and/or impact weapons."

Some of the federal agents in Portland are part of a Department of Homeland Security task force established to respond to the growing protests across the country.

That description is offensive and hyperbolic, and it's dishonest.

ABC News' Kayna Whitworth, Kristofer Rios and Marjorie McAfee contributed to this report.

Wheeler, according to ABC affiliate KATU in Portland, was likely hit with the chemical agent.
