Senate Judiciary Hearing on the Right to Peaceful Assembly | LIVE | NowThis

SENATE JUDICIARY DEBATES THE RIGHT TO PEACEFULLY ASSEMBLE: Sens. Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, and other members of the Senate Judiciary Committee hold a hearing on the rights of Americans to peacefully assemble without violence. Both Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley of Oregon will be speaking before the committee in light of the ongoing conflict in Portland. Federal forces have been deployed to the city since early July and have clashed with protesters, as widespread video footage shows agents in unmarked cars making arrests without identifying themselves. Dozens of Portlanders have been shot, beaten, and gassed by these federal agents, yet violence in the city has subsided since these federal agents began withdrawing last week. At a recent hearing before the House Judiciary Committee, AG William Barr called the activity in Portland ‘an assault on the government of the United States’ and defended the use of force in the city.
