"These tactics include deploying federal agents without identifying insignia in an apparent effort to evade transparency and accountability, snatching people off the street with no apparent reason for apprehension, and using potentially deadly munitions to harm peaceful protesters," U.S. senators Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden and representatives Earl Blumenauer and Suzanne Bonamici said in a statement directed at U.S. Attorney General William Barr and Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf.
