As Portland, Oregon just saw its 50th straight night of violence and unrest, the acting director of the Department of Homeland Security and others were in the city to assess the ongoing situation:

These valiant men and women have defended our institutions of justice against violent anarchists for 48 straight days. We will prevail. pic.twitter.com/Qo9XoCyH2N

Mayor Ted Wheeler has finally spotted some people in his city who are problematic:
A number of people have asked if I know DHS leadership is in town, and if I’m going to meet with them. We’re aware that they’re here. We wish they weren’t. We haven’t been invited to meet with them, and if we were , we would decline.

Wheeler probably won’t care to talk to anybody from the Trump administration until it’s time to request federal funds (he should ask the Minnesota governor how that’ll work out):
“We wish they weren’t” as your city burns. These politicians dgaf about people. They’d rather virtue signal. https://t.co/hvoTx5HEzP

Don’t come crying asking for Federal Funds to clean up the mess you allowed to happen. Over 40 days of mayhem. You care nothing for your tax paying citizens. #Resign

People are being assaulted and murdered in your city. They’re not just under your jurisdiction…. they Americans and they’re being murdered under your watch. https://t.co/guUNbbFdWU

The acting DHS director slammed the Portland mayor’s priorities… or lack thereof:
“I offered @DHSgov support to help locally address the situation that’s going on in Portland, and their only response was: please pack up and go home. That’s just not going to happen on my watch.” pic.twitter.com/BW8UdbNZ9c

It’s come to this.
