Politico: “Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz on Thursday announced his office is investigating the actions of DOJ law enforcement at protests in Portland, Ore., and Washington, D.C., in recent months.”
“Footage of law enforcement clashing with demonstrators in Portland in July and in D.C.’s Lafayette Square in June defined a summer of nationwide unrest following the police killing of George Floyd. Politicians decried the deployment of federal agents to Portland this week and the firing of chemicals into a crowd of protesters outside the White House last month.”
“In a statement, Horowitz wrote that his office will work with the Department of Homeland Security inspector general’s office to investigate use of force allegations leveled against DOJ law enforcement in Portland.”
