Portland police chief Danielle Outlaw says she told the mayor Portland police would clear the protest camp surrounding a federal immigration office, with or without his support.
In a very frank radio interview first noted by the Portland Tribune, Outlaw says she approached Mayor Ted Wheeler and told him she intended to use her bureau's resources to put an end to the protest outside U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's headquarters.
"I went to the mayor and said, 'Look, this isn't sustainable, not just resource wise, it's just out of control for many reasons,'" she told talk-radio host Lars Larson on Tuesday. "I wasn't asking for permission to go out and clear this camp. I said, 'This is what's going to happen and here's how it's going to happen.'"
Outlaw said that she and Wheeler were in agreement that the camp needed sweeping.
But the police chief's claims seem to contrast with Wheeler's earlier support for the aims of the Occupy ICE protest camp, which lasted more than a month and temporarily halted U.S. Immigration Customs and Enforcement operations at the federal building in Southwest Portland.

This is not the first time Outlaw's public comments regarding ICE have raised questions about whether she and the mayor are on the same page when it comes to the federal immigration agency.

A big city police chief enforcing the law. What a concept!
***this isn’t sustainable, not just resource wise, it’s just out of control for many reasons***
How about it is putting peoples lives at risk?
Broom-cankles: “What, sweep it? Like with a broom or something?”
I think this is the woman from Oakland who just got the job...
The mayor chose her thinking she would back his love of the illegal aliens since she was from another sanctuary city...
Amazing person.....she called them a bunch of whiners and complainers.
Gosh, who would have thought a bunch of white liberals yelling the n-word at black cops would eventually erode police sympathy for their cause??
She needs to work on her optics. (In more ways than one.)
Love her last name as police chief.. Outlaw!
Cute.
Cause if the sheet goes down, the Mayor is going to blame her anyway. You might as well condense the nonsense early.
Someone with common sense and a backbone—so rare these days! Kudos to her !
Oh the irony
Sounds like she is giving the Mayor political cover.
Amazing. A police chief in a big city doing the civically and lawfully responsible thing.
Lol, true.
Gutsy lady.
“Portland police chief Danielle Outlaw...”
That’s rather funny.
Thank goodness there’s a “sheriff” like Outlaw in town. Just doing the job that American liberals won’t do.
