Blumenauer, Bonamici join lawmakers in demanding acting DHS secretary's resignation
July 24, 2020
U.S. representatives Earl Blumenauer and Suzanne Bonamici, both Democrats from Oregon, joined 13 other representatives in writing a letter demanding the immediate resignation of Acting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf.
The letter blames Wolf for mismanagement, inciting xenophobia, and using federal agents to disrupt lawful protests.
Blumenauer called Wolf "a key architect of the federal government's occupation of Portland."
The representatives say they're concerned about Wolf's willingness to escalate the operation of placing federal officers in other U.S. cities, besides Portland.
