Chad Wolf to Portland Mayor: End Riots or Feds ‘Will Have no Choice but to Protect our American Citizens’

Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf responded to a letter Democrat Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler sent to President Donald Trump that said he did not want help to quell the destructive and deadly riots that have continued nightly.

Oregon Sheriffs Reject Gov. Kate Brown’s Request to Assist Portland

Law enforcement agencies in the State of Oregon are denying Gov.
