The Justice Department's inspector general has opened an investigation into allegations of DOJ personnel improperly using force in Portland, Ore., as well as an inquiry into their role in responding to mass protests in D.C.
Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler during a protest Wednesday night outside a federal courthouse.
Portland and Washington are among several large cities where federal agents' presence and aggressive tactics have stoked controversy. The mayors of at least five cities, including Portland and Washington, sent a letter to President Trump this week asking him to withdraw the agents, saying they were inflaming tensions.
The separate inquiries are in response to requests from Congress, members of the public, and a referral by U.S. Attorney Billy Williams, who heads the District of Oregon office.
