DHS Secretary Chad Wolf: Rioters in Portland have attacked federal officers for 54 nights in a row.

Federal crimes are committed every night from midnight to about five am, he says.

Just now, on Fox.

At a press conference today he explained their uniforms and use of unmarked cars, etc.

The officers are of various types, some Marshals, some Border Patrol, and others as well.

DHS chief promises ‘we will not retreat’ from Portland despite criticism, tells rioters ‘find another line of work’

Portland has been hit by riots and protests for 52 days in the wake of George Floyd in Minneapolis. 

This month, in response to ongoing violence against federal property and monuments, DHS deployed federal law enforcement to the city.

Federal officers have reportedly been attacked, doxxed and injured by rioters, with DHS officials saying weapons including hammers, fireworks and fecal matter have been used against law enforcement. 

Meanwhile, there have been multiple attempts to damage the Hatfield Courthouse.

. . . .

But they pushed back on the widely reported claim that officers were unidentified, posting images that showed that officers had the appropriate police and agency insignia. 

Federal Protective Service Deputy Director of Operations Richard Cline told reporters that, to avoid the risk of doxxing, officers’ names had been replaced with badge numbers as about 38 officers had had their personal information put online.
