Cotton first requested information regarding these reports in January. On February 9, the Office of Legislative Affairs at the Department of Justice responded to Cotton’s letter, but failed to address the issue. Text of the letter may be found here and below. The Honorable Merrick Garland U.S. Department of Justice 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20530-0001 Dear Attorney General Garland: I received your letter; you didn’t answer my question. Why won’t the Department of Justice defend four deputy U.S. Marshals attacked by a left-wing street militia in Portland? Sincerely, | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:57:46Z |
