(CNS News) -- House Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), founder of the House Freedom Caucus and ranking member on the Judiciary Committee, sent a letter to the Homeland Security secretary this week, noting that "anarchists and violent left-wing extremists continue to vandalize and destroy federal property in Portland, Oregon," and demanding to know whether DHS intends to enforce federal law in Portland and what steps it is taking to do so.
"Anarchists and violent left-wing extremists continue to vandalize and destroy federal property in Portland, Oregon," states Jordan in his Mar. 29 letter to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. "Following riots that erupted in May 2020, Portland experienced over 100 consecutive nights of violence as anarchists attacked federal courthouses, small businesses, and even police precincts."
