Pelosi demands Trump clarify deployment of unidentified law enforcement in DC
By Cristina Marcos - 06/04/20 02:18 PM EDT
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Thursday demanded that President Trump provide a list of the agencies involved in deploying law enforcement officers around Washington, D.C., in response to the crowds of demonstrators protesting police brutality.
Some officers policing protests in the city in recent days have been seen without any identifying labels on their uniforms, raising questions about which law enforcement agencies they represent.
In a letter to Trump, Pelosi wrote that "we are concerned about the increased militarization and lack of clarity that may increase chaos."
"I am writing to request a full list of the agencies involved and clarifications of the roles and responsibilities of the troops and federal law enforcement resources operating in the city. Congress and the American people need to know who is in charge, what is the chain of command, what is the mission, and by what authority is the National Guard from other states operating in the capital," Pelosi wrote.

As I recall, he had some very strong feelings about imaginary armies without insignia or identification using tunnel networks under Wal Marts. Well Alex, here's some very real armed groups concealing their identities walking around Washington DC. Where are you, pal?
