© Washington Post/Pool DHS chief presses Portland mayor to accept federal help as another riot is declared In a letter Wolf shared on Tuesday, the acting DHS chief urged Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler (D) to request federal assistance for the demonstrations, accusing the local official of standing "by passively, arguing that the nightly violence 'will ultimately burn itself out.'""Due to a lack of action throughout the summer, Portland and its law-abiding residents continue to suffer from large-scale looting, arson, and vandalism-even killing," he wrote.
"We are standing by to support Portland," Wolf continued. "At the same time, President Trump has made it abundantly clear that there will come a point when state and local officials fail to protect its citizens from violence, the federal government will have no choice but to protect our American citizens."
The acting secretary pointed to the 255 arrests in the city since July 31 and 23 riots and unlawful assemblies declared.
And the racist, marxist DPST's hypocritically claim trump is causing the riots and looting they foment - and excuse the Terrorists from sufferinig any consequences for the illegal terrorist actions.
Because - The DPST's want the violence to tear down America . Mayor Ted Wheeler was widely reported as having been in the middle of his rioter/terrorists - Proclaiming "I'm on Your Side"!!!
Wheeler should be arrested under federal warrants for Sedition.
