Former Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff strongly condemned the Trump Administration’s deployment of federal law enforcement officers to Portland, Oregon, saying the move “poured gasoline on the fire” of an otherwise “mildly serious situation.”

While the nightly protests in the city have largely remained peaceful, the deployment of federal militarized officers has escalated the standoff between demonstrators and law enforcement in front of the federal courthouse there. Officers have been criticized for their tactics, as they whisked away demonstrators in unmarked cars and tear-gassed activist mothers.
“What unfolds nightly around the courthouse cannot reasonably be called a protest; it is, by any objective measure, an assault on the government of the United States.”
