House Democrats on Sunday called for an immediate investigation into reports that federal law enforcement agents have unlawfully arrested protestors in Portland, Oregon in recent days.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, Homeland Security Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson, and Oversight and Reform Committee Chairwoman Carolyn Maloneycondemning the recent law enforcement actions authorized by the Trump administration in Portland and last month in Washington D.C. and called for the Inspectors General of the Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security to open investigations.

"The Attorney General of the United States does not have unfettered authority to direct thousands of federal law enforcement personnel to arrest and detain American citizens exercising their First Amendment rights. The Acting Secretary [Chad Wolf] appears to be relying on an ill-conceived executive order meant to protect historic statues and monuments as justification for arresting American citizens in the dead of night.

MSM RUN BY COMMUNISTS.

I am okay with peaceful protesting, but the violence must stop!

Rioters and vandals

HouseJudiciary NADLER...is too old slow to do anything....we need a mandatory retirement age...how about 65

About time

I really want to ask the President that most of the relief distributed by the state goes to many rich people, and most companies can get between US$5 million and US$10 million. All benefits will be given to people near you. Other sick American citizens have no money

Apparently Trump plans on doing this in more cities. This is war!

Use of force?!?!? These “peaceful” protestors have attacked police, killed, destroyed buildings, destroyed businesses, seized property which wasn’t theirs and threatened law abiding citizens.

Why ? The feds should use force against Antifa: they have attempted murder and hijacked the local economy and imprisoned citizens , threaten those who speak against them

It will always be the same result ! Trump abused his power Republican defend him Trump hints at witches

FREEDOM OF SPEECH

You know I bet they'd move a lot faster if it was their districts that the plainclothes unidentifiable federal agents were using excessive force against the citizenry. Shouldn't this have been done three days ago? Asking for people being denied their rights and due process.

What’s new? It’s getting old!!!! Anything Good to report on? How about something Positive Enjoyable? Even have a clue how that works?

Also, I agree that there should be an investigation into the matter on why Trump ordered unnecessary force on peaceful protesters who were peacefully protesting in Lafayette Square to have a so - called fake 'photo - op'.

Again, I also, think there should a criminal investigation about these so - called ' law enforcement agents' that Trump hired (who are most likely white supremacists thugs) who were not 'trying to keep the peace' in Portland but, were the ones who escalated the violence.

Should call to investigate why local govt do nth on riots!

The dhs said they are arresting people committing violence. That is good enough for me. I have seen the riots and the senseless deaths.

House democrats are trying to destroy America just so they can wn elections. Sad and shameful. CNBC is also playing right into their hands.

Power hungry Democrats. When you are so obsessed to get power you can do any. Unfortunately Democrats have to wait another term Trump is already our president. Please note There is difference between thugs and protestors. If they are protestors the should behave like protestors

TIME FOR A SPACE TRIP TO MARS! HAVE THE AIRLOCK JUST A LITTLE LOSE ON THE TRIP FOR THE THUGS/ANARCHISTS/CANCEL CULTURE DESTROYING USA elonmusk

So tired of Democrats crying foul about everything!!! One liberal Created BS scandal after another. We are tired of you crying wolf. The silent majority is tire of this crap.

Remember this outrage on Nov 3!!!

I'm bored !, let me break something!

It’s the useless Portland mayor that needs to be investigated - for letting mob rule run rampant

Let them destroy! Mommy and Daddy, are we there yet?

I’ll bet a whole bunch of Portland residents are really happy with Trump and appreciate the protection against terrorism

Acting Secretary of Homeland Security, Chad Wolf, and the brown shirts he sent to Portland, Oregon. Is this the kind of country you want to live in? Nazi America

👏👏👏

domestic terror groups funded by Communist (CCP),bribed American politicians(to many to count),celebs and businessmen(Soros/gates)..foot soldiers=Antifa,Sunshine group,Farrakhan,NFAC using BLM to incite a Maoist revolution using the brainwashed confusious student center recruits

Can we get one, I mean, just one, news organization to actually give us the real news. I mean showing people in the street is not what is actually happening in these cities...burning buildings/car and damaging communities. The feds arrested thugs with felony warrants.

These buffoons have nothing better to do.

HouseJudiciary We have no time to ask them politely to come before your committee. Impeach him and Barr NOW!!!

These bastards destroying that city and assaulting innocence with impunity deserve every harm done to them. They started this. The Feds will finish it.

TheSWPrincess Yes, please.

They’re just a bunch of lazy punks, glad they removed them! Can believe it took so long

Quit calling them protesters, they aren't.

GunterDawg99 Cool. Now do bounties on soldiers, the USPS being used to thwart mail in voting, why the HHS has taken over from the CDC...oh and A FULL ON PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATION OF TRUMP.

How many “investigations” have Democrats called on Trump, and how many of them actually materialize? The Witch hunt continues...

If Americans actually cared they could do something about this.... More faux outrage on twitter, though.

Better idea, let's investigate why they support the MURDERERS ARSONISTS LOOTERS and COP KILLERS

STRONGLY worded letters. TOOTHLESS investigations. The House is powerless. Will lead to nothing. Again.

If the mayor of Portland refuses to use force to restore order ; the federal government needs to protect property. These DHS agents are marked. They don’t have name tags so they can’t be doxxed.

Of course they are.

karencollinsnyc Thanks!

25thAmendmentBeforeWeAllDie

Trump used force against protesters in Portland. I figured someone his age would have to get someone else to use force for him. That's just another reason to vote for realDonaldTrump VP44 never even left his basement. POTUS the only real man in Washington Trump2020

How about we look at his pardoning Stone.

Try investigating real criminal act; illegal spying on Trump by Obama, Biden and Comey. Hell all those pond scum in DC. Drain the swamp.

So what. Democrats want to investigate everything “they” don’t like. Investigate Trumps 💩

It protestors .... RIOTERS. Get it right bitches

Shocker !!

Need to invoke the 25th amendment

House Democrats wake up every morning calling for Trump's Impeachment so How is THIS News?

Bring it on!

There's a pandemic people, stay home to slow the spread. It is disproportionately affecting the elderly and minority races.

Will Democrat Members from ANTIFA be called to Testify. Homeland Security have their own Video that shows how Violent these groups are & Politicians have refused to prosecute them.

All the Dems have ever been doing in the past few years have been to sit on the sidelines, call for investigations, waste time, try to undermine president, and waste USA taxpayer money. Look like complete fools.

Just expand the make my day law to businesses. Problem solved.

It will be blocked by the Republican Senate. You have to vote out the Republican Senate and wait out the Republican Supreme court. By the time that happens, America may already their Emperor.

MichaelFLovell Investigate, debate... sit and rotate!! Somebody stop this modern day Nero, King Orange Zero.

What’s new? That’s all they’ve done are investigations!

CNBC part of the DNC propaganda arm.

A bunch of spoiled white supremacists-anarchist! I prefer law and order! Not riots and burning buildings!

The USA's Gestapo & SS!

And where are Senate Democrats? We all know where the Republicans are but where are the Senate Democrats?

They’re not protestors they’re rioters! Over 50 days of riots!

HouseJudiciary An Impeachment Investigation? Otherwise just a placation..

Threaten/harm people, damage property, you get arrested. In this case it’s only federal property as the local authorities have abandoned their core responsibilities.

Veltex Corp (VLXC) last .34: Assets- $5.5 mil building. Cash flow- $75-$100k/month from rehab soon. No debt-building free & clear. Low burn rate-$15k/month Big tax credit-$180 mil $3mil stock buyback just announced!

CNBC used to report news. Now just anti Trump BS. They Suck. I am out!!

CNBC would make Gerbels proud.

Ferret out Eric Prince. This smells of one of his ops.

Can you actually print the truth sometimes?

You have got to be kidding!

Message me now, and you could learn how to make $2500 in 3 days.

You gotta be fucking shitting me smh.

House Democrats have no room to speak. Police brutality has flourished under every administration & continues to grow. Where have the democrats been during this entire socialistic takeover since the 60's? Right at the forefront. Don't start acting righteous now. You sold us out!

Can you imagine all of the probes there will be in the next administration? The Dems are really setting themselves up for the future! RepJerryNadler HouseDemocrats

If Dems thought Biden was winning in the polls that matter, Dems wouldn’t go down this desperate road.

HouseJudiciary Nadler feckless

HouseJudiciary Don't stop til justice is served

Of course, only been 50 days of riots.

It’s just hard to take any of these ”stories” seriously anymore.First, these aren’t protesters-you know that.Second, not one mention of the organized, black-clad rioters and all of the injuries and destruction they’ve caused for 50 days straight.Finally, Trump is using force?WTF?

HouseJudiciary Fuk them he's trying to look out for Americans

Protestors haha

Why don't Democrats investigate if President Trump wipes and washes his hands afterwards. Make sure it's a thoreau Investigation. We need to know if he uses his left or right hand when he wipes.💩💩💩💩💩💩

I'd for an investigation as to why Trump's use of force wasn't more forceful.

House Democrats are now the party of anarchy.

HouseJudiciary SubpoenaBarr subpoenaWolf enforceSubpoenas

TrumpsGestapo

It sounds more and more like: house rats...

HouseJudiciary I love the Moms. More about the moms please

House DemoRats are slime balls.

HouseJudiciary Fake news

What a horrible place. They wanted libs, now they’ve got them. Enjoy as the destroy you town.

HouseJudiciary Get it done!!

House Democrats call for an game of clue into orange man's use of force against protestors in Portland

Let's look into the Dnc Nazi youth group antifa

Not investigating the protesters but let’s investigate the use of force. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Seems strange real officials let this happen ? and no one has stepped in to yank them into custody . trumps nazi policing needs stopped and fined

Like communists, Dems politicians like to see chaos.

Yes, in Democrat-Marxist America, we investigate the law enforcers, not the law breakers.

How come the House Dems aren't calling for an investigation into the rioting, looting, mobs, and anarchy?

what i happening in portland, once a very pretty city to visit, was clean. looks like a getto, grafiti. Stop all this riot crap. Guess another city gone to shit and taken off visit list.

Do not worry we know the Civil War started. It is just being waged on the Dem side. Someday we will stop taking it...do not know when. But certainly the next step is to erode our freedoms. Clearly, Dems hate Trump more than the love of freedom. Have a feeling you will regret that

Stands to reason, Demorats love decent in any flavor. Remember Oblamers call to have the police stand down and let the rioters throw rocks at em..? That's when the disrespect started.

Let us pray that Federal Agents apprehend House Democrats

Terrorists

Shouldn't have been standing there.

Because they didn’t use enough force?

So we have politicians mad at the president cuz he is trying to stop people from burning down our city, twilight zone. This country will be gone in a year if mr 50 first dates wins the election

investigate Trump's use of his Nazi Brown Shirts. The local police and government had no idea who these thugs were. This is just Trump trying to use his lame 'law and order' theme for reelection. Trump is so desperate he is trying anything. 99% of which is misguided

next hoax? i might wonder how anyone not named realDonaldTrump lives with their failure to adhere to oath of office to uphold LawAndOrder

Good.

🙄

Thank you.

Didn’t they just burn down another police station?

Trump, himself, personally, used force in Portland? Seems legit. 🙄

Better investigate who is organizing and paying for those riots and whether it is an attempt of election manipulation.

Should have known, the orange one, would have gestapo

'Trumps use of force'? I thought he was hiding in a bunker...

❤❤❤❤

Who cares what they want to investigate! A bunch of power hungry jackoffs !

Should be a short investigation... The riot videos from there are all over YouTube... Portland isn't burning. The whole city isn't under siege. It's a couple blocks of downtown. Federal troops are roaming the streets, arresting people without cause, nowhere near any federal buildings. That's un-American and unconstitutional.
