>Oregon Gov. Kate Brown said Wednesday that the federal government had agreed to withdraw its law enforcement officers from Portland, where violent protests have persisted for weeks — but the Department of Homeland Security indicated it would keep its officers on the ground for the time being.
Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf said his department "will continue to maintain our current, augmented federal law enforcement personnel in Portland until we are assured that the Hatfield Federal Courthouse and other federal properties will no longer be attacked and that the seat of justice in Portland will remain secure."
>"The Department will continue to re-evaluate our security posture in Portland, and should circumstances on the ground significantly improve due to the influx of state and local law enforcement, we anticipate the ability to change our force posture," Wolf added.
Vice President Mike Pence's press secretary, Devin O'Malley, responded to Brown's original tweet, saying the vice president had told her that "federal law enforcement will remain in Portland until violence directed toward them & the federal courthouse is brought to an end by state & local authorities. @VP was very clear that law & order must be restored in PDX," O'Malley said (twitter.com/VPPressSec/status/1288528892316262403).
Are lefties gonna start supporting the confederates now that they want the feds gone too? Both the dixielanders and the portlanders want to keep their pet niggers under their thumb, are they ever gonna realize this?
Oregon is lying obviously. Agreed. Antifa in black clothing hiding their identity and assaulting people who don't agree with them is fascism. Full stop.

I know the Constitution isn't hard to read, and you only love hard things, but try it.

This is democratic weights and counter weights at play.

I don't care. They spend more on facism, than infrastructure and social assistance. So many homeless, starving, medically denied.
