Jim Jordan sent a letter Wednesday to Attorney General Merrick Garland calling on the Department of Justice (DOJ) to preserve all records relating to the Department\u2019s disciplinary and personnel actions against deputy U.S. Marshals who defended the courthouse and federal property in Portland, Oregon, from rioters in the summer of 2020.<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Caller first obtained the letter, in which Jordan, the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, slammed the Biden administration for not helping law enforcement officers, and said the DOJ has declined to pay for legal counsel for deputy U.S. Marshals to defend themselves in civil suits related to attacks at the courthouse in Portland.<\/p>\n<p>In the letter, Jordan mentioned Republican Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton\u2019s concern with the DOJ on the matter. Cotton and Republican Senators have said the DOJ is placing deputy U.S. Marshals on limited duty and informing them that they are under investigation for their actions in Portland.<\/p>\n<p>In January, Cotton <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/tom-cotton-biden-doj-nominees-marshals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">threatened<\/a> to hold up DOJ nominations, saying the Biden administration may not be representing deputy U.S. Marshals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Biden administration and the far left continue to demonize the brave men and women in uniform. Our federal law enforcement deserve our support \u2014 not unfair attacks,\u201d Jordan told the Daily Caller before sending the letter. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/03\/12\/portland-protest-riot-vandalize-buildings-federal-courthouse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: Far Left Militants In Portland Start Fires, Vandalize Buildings And Toss Unknown Liquids)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>READ THE LETTER HERE:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View (DAILY CALLER OBTAINED) -- FILE-5518 on Scribd\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/document\/571935005\/DAILY-CALLER-OBTAINED-FILE-5518#from_embed\">(DAILY CALLER OBTAINED) \u2014 \u2026<\/a> by <a title=\"View Henry Rodgers&#039;s profile on Scribd\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/user\/527927298\/Henry-Rodgers#from_embed\">Henry Rodgers<\/a><\/p>\n<p>While trying to protect the courthouse, officers were <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/01\/01\/portland-molotov-new-years-riot\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pelted<\/a> with rocks, bricks, frozen water bottles and balloons with unknown liquids.
