the presiding officer: the senator from oregon. mr. merkley: the support is felt throughout oregon to stop secret policing in america. but it is a coast-to-coast feeling, and i yield to my colleague from connecticut to speak from the other side of the country. mr. blumenthal: madam president? the presiding officer: the senator from connecticut. mr. blumenthal: i want to thank from my heart our two colleagues from oregon, who are standing up and championing not just their hometowns, not just the constituents of their state. they are speaking for every hometown, every citizen of our country from every party from every corner of our great nation. and met me just say -- and let me just say very simply. these pictures of heavily armed, unidentified individuals in camouflage fatigues, driving unmarked vehicles, grab individuals, throwing them into their car, would be something we would associate with the worst nightmare of a two-bit dictatorship. and here we see it in the united states of america. i spent almost my whole career in law enforc

the gentleman from oregon. i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. defazio: i would point out that all of these amendments are bipartisan, and two of them are republican. so the gentleman may have eneral objections to the bill for other reasons as we yesterday, the emphase emphasees on -- emphasis on climate change and other rovisions of the bill for safe drinking water, substantial ncrease in waste water and all that. but this en bloc should be virtually noncontroversial. i would yield two from s to the gentleman new york, tom suozzi. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new york is minutes.d for two mr. suozzi: mr. speaker, i rise in support of the moving forward act. expertly led by chairman transformative $1.5 trillion infrastructure investment, the largest in our nation's history, would not only rebuild america's decaying infrastructure, not only post-coronavirus economy, not only create solid middle-class jobs, hopefully them union jobs,

we have seen that in oregon, in fact.my: interestingly when you talk about internationally what happened, so often it is u.s.-trained -- you look at central america, for e example, latin american soldiers inin the papast two have been moving into people's homes and arresting them. the shock for americans in the united states is to see it on u.s. soil. in some cases, many communities to experience this feeling of occupation and now what is interesting is the establishment , the governors, the senators, the mayors, the state attorneys general arare sayingng this cant happen on u.s. soil whehen it is hittininthe mainstream population. >> absolutely. i i say a lot of these localal officials, state, federal, local, having been complicit with some form of occupation for a long time. policing is just another form of counterinsurgency for so many communities. tactics have been buiui up for a very longg time. yieldong as we continuee to policing and presents as a solution for public safety, we will continue to see this downward sl

could this be an over correction by the young people of portland oregon. well i think the young people of portland oregon have long manifested a desire to be heard that's why we've seen especially in western cities like portland and seattle some of the things that we haven't seen in eastern cities and by the way and going back to my media. comparison earlier remember these are cities the generally don't get the kind of coverage that we see from places on the east because the media in the united states still is predominated by new york city empire and other places like that and david west get some attention portland doesn't but for for exactly for decades now portland has been the epicenter if you will of all things against the establishment it has been where young people where people have had anti-war movements yeah where some people have actually even pushed the on the lope and gone beyond that as we've seen in the past so i think what we're getting now is yeah you could you could almost safely use the word. opportunistic you have people who long had thes

the interim executive director of the aclu of oregon has said about this oregon ruling that you were talking about, while the decision in the state's lawsuit is disappointing, federal agents should not for a minute think their unconstitutional actions will go unanswered. the aclu will be in court again to hold federal agents accountable. and the oregon attorney general has said if the state of oregon does not have standing to prevent this, who does? nick, you have traveled i think everywhere in the world. i don't know if there is anywhere that you haven't been. i have been looking at these scenes of american cities since the night after george floyd died. if you and i were in other countries reporting on this thing, we would be reporting on authorities that are silencing dissent, that are targeting in some cases journalists who are not letting observers know what's going on. i haven't seen video in america of anything like this since the '60s. we see this in other parts of the world, not in america usually. >> that's right. i've used my gas mask in all kinds of countries across the w

and the oregon attorney general said if the state of oregon does not have standing, who does? nick, you have traveled i think everywhere in the world. i don't know if there is anywhere that you haven't been. i have been looking at these scenes of american cities since the night after george floyd died. if you and i were in other countries reporting on this thing, we would be reporting on authorities that are silencing dissent, that are targeting in some cases journalists who are not letting observers know what's going on. i haven't seen video in america of anything like this since the '60s. we see this in other parts of the world, not in america usually. >> that's right. i use my gas mask in all kinds of countries across the world covering democratic movements. and it's not something we typically do here. i do think that ultimately what is going to matter is not only the legal courts but also the court of public opinion. and i see that -- i mean, there is a struggle over the narrative here and president trump is portraying this and to some degree you see this on fox news as we

full report is coming up next plus the trumpet ministration plans to keep veteran agents in portland oregon meantime in seattle a group of protesters marching to a city council members home making demands and speaking of protests how did demonstrations gained so much momentum in one of the country's whitest cities we're going to discuss that with our very own rick sanchez all right it's time to boot i . first up a new twist in the main one joe case she is the wall way executive that has been holed up in canada at the request of the u.s. where she's going through a highly publicized legal battle her defense is now seeking access to canadian spy service documents claiming that there has been a cover up and that the u.s. misled canada working up to her arrest here's our alex mileage with the story. it's been the basis of the defense's argument from the beginning why way executive man one joe was arrested in canada due to political not legal reasons and she should be released here's china's government spokesperson saying when we've been on the media anyone without prejudice can clearly see that

kate brown is the governor of oregon. we're joined by kate brown, governor of oregon rk joining us from portland. thank you so much for being with us.de you heard pre trump in that taped spot saying the reason the federal forces are in portland are to restore order and, late th afternoon, d.h.s., the department of homelansecurity, tweeted out that portland is ripe with violent anarchists, assaulting federal offices and feder buildings. what'sour response? , well, unfortunately, things re calming down, when trump's troops appeared on our streets. i was really clear when i spoke with the secretary of sehomeland rity last week. i asked them to leave, and that their presence here was not needed. the challenge their presence here nis escalating already challenging situaon. things were beginng to calm down, then trump's troops arved, and it's simply like pouring gasoline on a fire. >> reporter: have you had anyre onversations with secretary wolf since then? >> no, i haven't.ha thsh reality ishis is about scoring political point

they are responsible for the streets of portland, oregon. the governor has her own resources that she can apply there. why the president of the united states would send forces around the united states and i understand that the head of the police union in chicago has just asked for the same type of action to be carried out there none of this -- the legalities of this i'll leave up to professor wiley in is absolutely unprecedented. there are right wing extremist groups who swear their loyalty to their little bands that they will not -- u.s. government forces and law enforcement shouldn't participate in actions against american citizens and voila, they are great supporters of president trump's use of this, i'm quoting russell, secret police force. >> this whole thing seems to prover the point of the protesters in portland that we as a society, when we see a problem, we throw law enforce m ment at it even if law enforcement is perceived as a problem as the protesters would assert, the problem that we use -- the solution we use to throw at the pr

oregon isn't a strong hold for president trump.n amplify on his social media feeds. >> kim atkins, so much talk in our business this is a bit as we say inside the beltway, but no sooner had donald trump finished his remarks yesterday as the mainstream media especially were off to the races talking about his change in tone, with a straight face and unironically it will be interesting to see if that tone continues today. if he goes it alone. if he brings any expertise to the room. and if he continues the theme of what we were hearing late march, early april from the cdc, wear mask, remain distant, don't crowd into interior spaces. >> yes, two points on that, one, aside from his change in tone about wearing a mask, we still saw him repeating a lot of misinformation saying the united states is testing more than in other countries when that's not true, the virus will disappear, so it wasn't that much of a change in messaging it was a switch on that one issue of masks. my other point is, this could be what i have come to term the trump b

i don't think there is a lack of law enforcement in oregon. i think in portland there is a lack of leadership. i think the governor of oregon lacks leadership, and i think ted wheeler and kate brown are both basically pouncing on this as a political opportunity to push back at the president instead of telling citizens in portland and oregon as a whole how they are going to make the state and the city better. and make it not a magnet for people who want to sell chaos and hurt businesses, and limit the freedom of citizens there, but how they are going to make the kin better so businesses can thrive. so terrorists can, when we are over the pandemic, resume. it's all happening at the same time. protests have devolved into riots, during a pandemic. there is no better time, no greater need for leadership than at a moment like this. leadership has utterly failed people there, and that is sad. >> melissa: dagen, i mean, local and state leaders have no won the booby prize. they will leave, i'm sure that violence will magically disappear. as one william

for the 60th day in a row, demonstrators rallied in portland, oregon, sunday. shortly after midnight this morning, federal officers fired tear gas and other crowd-control weapons to disperse a crowd that had gathered outside the federal courthouse, which has become a flashpoint of the nightly protests. prpresident trump's deployment f federal agents to portland and other cities sparked a new round of protests across the country this weekend. on thursday, the trump administration sent a team of federal tactical border officers to seattle. it remains unclear what role the agents played this weekend as seattle police arrrrested dozens of protesters and fired flash grenades and pepper spray into crowds. in related news from seattle, a judge has ordered "the seattle times" and four tv stations to hand over to the police photos and videos of a protest in may during which windows were smashed and d police cars were t ablaze. the e police hope the images wil help them identify suspects in a move press freedom advocates and reporters warn endangers all journalists. in a

she's vice president of the oregon parliament which is looking at the ball the interest of all of that was the voice of the people and would take a chance to make the better. disparity your leaders describe to deal they struck a sorry what are the words you would use for it. well it was a compromise and it was a compromise between leaders of member states and so you see it as well a mixture of interests of member states but the european parliament is the voice of the people the only directly elected bodies so we are here to add more european perspective so it's the 1st time in history you sort of rule of conditionality might be introduced you must be happy about that well i would be if it was clear how it's going to announce and the interpretation of these few paragraphs is rather different and this is what worries me a lot because we need a strong conditionality between financial means and the rule of law we are seeing the rule of law deteriorating in a lot of member states and we have to stop that viktor orban for example the hungary in prime minister you've been criticizing him a lo

are they doing a wholesale exit tomorrow as the governor of oregon says right there? >> oh, no, no.he knows very well from our discussions of the officers who moved to portland are going to stay there, though they will not be at the courthouse. there will be a ready reaction force to determine if this partnership that we've been asking for four weeks and that happens everywhere else in america, the 9,000 or so facilities that fps defends and the department of homeland security is responsible for, only portland has had to be convinced to enter into that kind of a partnership and if that works as a secretary said, at that point over time once we are confident that the facilities we are responsible for end of the people there are safe, then we can draw down our additional officers. we will always have a federal presence there. >> martha: inside the building, that's my understanding. the federal officers are always inside the building to protect that building. so i have two quick questions based on what you just said. one is, you say you'll still be there in those agents will still be t

what did portland and oregon do to deserve the destruction. >> words are just words, and brian, thank you for having me every american needs to be concerned about what is happening here it's coming to your city, it's like a road show on the part of our president. he is using portland as his test case portland is known for peaceful protests being common and valued last light we had a wall of moms wearing yellow protecting their sons and daughters from the police that's how valued the role of protesting and particularly now with the police brutality and the racial injustice that we're experiencing, the systemic in s injustices over the century. portland didn't do anything special, but he says that weir lead we're led by a lot of democrats so we're a good target the governor politely requested, the mayor requested that the uninvited federal agents leave our city so we can attend to the protests and do a better job as we were doing. we had a few hundred out and now we have thousands. it is because of the presence of the federal agents our local law enforcement is not allowed to you tear g

wall of moms the group was inspired by the mothers who are protecting the protesters in portland oregon, many of them have been arrested by federal agents and is. >>protesters see that as working against the whole effort for police reform president trump calling for those arrests by federal agents and also saying that those ages may be sent into other cities, including oakland. so this protest by the wall of moms was earlier today again it was peaceful, they were protesting mills federal agents the violence reportedly happened later tonight in oakland, this is video from los angeles in this particular scene that you're looking at we understand that. >>an officer said something to a woman who is holding up her phone before appearing to push or and then a man ran toward the officer and knocks the officer to the ground another lapd officers in a few protesters rushed toward the man. some of the officers waving their batons but beyond that we're also getting a report of other reports of other violent clashes among police and protesters in downtown l a some demonstrators marched onto highway
