Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) is demanding answers from the head of the Justice Department and Department of Homeland Security on how the Biden administration is protecting federal property and personnel in Portland, Oregon.

The city saw persistent demonstrations last summer that eventually escalated into nights of violence and rioting following the death of George Floyd. The clashes with police and violent rioting saw extensive property damage, injuries, and deaths. A number of federal buildings, including a courthouse, were targeted and damaged significantly during the unrest.
