Law enforcement officials are showing up in unmarked riot gear, hiding their names, and offering no indication of which agency they work for. Some lawmakers want to outlaw that.

"I am writing to request a full list of the agencies involved and clarifications of the roles and responsibilities of the troops and federal law enforcement resources operating in the city," she wrote, saying Americans must know"who is in charge, what is the chain of command, what is the mission." The House is likely to take up a package of police reforms later this month, Beyer said, adding that he would push Pelosi to include his proposal, which he expects to release with cosponsors as early as next week. It would need to get through the Senate, which is controlled by Republican allies of President Donald Trump.
"I want to make sure the officers are protected when they are out there. And I also want to make sure the officers — that we know they are officers too and that they are protected, that we know who we are dealing with and there isn’t a false representation," he told reporters Thursday.
