And who's paying for this? So whether it be in Portland, whether it in Chicago or otherwise, we will bring the resources we need to make sure that Americans are safe."
"We're seeing a lot of paid protesters, that they actually do this full-time for a living. They'll go from city to city, whether it be Portland, Chicago, or Los Angeles, and they're showing up, she said. They don't even know what the heck they're protesting for. They're just there to create chaos, to obstruct our officers and really sometimes violence is what we're seeing a lot."
The administration is investigating funding streams and organization behind highly organized ICE protests occurring in multiple cities. President Trump ordered troops to Portland and other cities to protect ICE facilities and authorized 'Full Force, if necessary.' Attorney General Pam Bondi announced DOJ agents are being sent to ICE facilities described as under siege. A Dallas ICE facility was targeted by a shooter during the week. DHS reported assaults on ICE agents have increased by more than 1,000%. DHS stated people are being bussed in and that many protesters are paid and travel between cities, sometimes causing chaos, obstruction, and violence.
