Democrats seek to limit federal patrols in cities through coronavirus relief bill
The proposal would bar federal agents from patrolling cities without the permission of mayors and governors.
Schumer, D-N.Y., said in an interview on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that the proposal, from Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., would require that police officers or federal officers identify themselves and where they work during interactions with protesters and that they not use unmarked vehicles.
The proposal would also say that while federal agents can be on federal property, they can't go up and down streets patrolling cities without permission from mayors and governors, Schumer said.
