Washington Oregon's two Democratic senators are pushing legislation that aims to scale back the use of federal law enforcement agents against protesters in Portland and other cities, as well as prevent agents from making arrests without displaying clear identification.
The legislation, which is being proposed by Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley as an amendment to a National Defense Authorization Act budget bill the Senate is considering, would require all federal agents making arrests or assisting in crowd control to"at all times display identifying information in a clearly visible fashion," including their agency's name and their last name. Agents would also be prohibited from using unmarked vehicles during arrests.
