Oregon Gov. Kate Brown (D) announced Wednesday that the Trump administration has agreed to withdraw federal tactical teams from Portland, Ore., which for weeks has been the site of violent clashes between officers and protesters.
Brown said in a statement that an agreement for federal agents to leave the city was reached following a discussion with Vice President Pence. She said that officers from Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) would begin their withdrawal on Thursday.
“These federal officers have acted as an occupying force, refused accountability, and brought violence and strife to our community," Brown said.
Acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolf was less definitive, saying only that an agreement had been reached for Oregon State Police to take on an increased role in downtown Portland.
"The Department will continue to maintain our current, augmented federal law enforcement personnel in Portland until we are assured that the Hatfield Federal Courthouse and other federal properties will no longer be attacked and that the seat of justice in Portland will remain secure," Wolf said in a statement.

Can we kick a State out of the Union?
It's amazing not one citizen in Portland seems upset by this.
They are PAID BY SOROS and SOROS is the BIGGEST DEMOCRAT OF ALL!!
Sooner or later, we, the citizens of this country, will face a choice.
Either we take down the lefty problems in these cities or we cower and accept what is coming.
Democrats desperate as evidenced by this dyke governor’s quick comment... they are rightfully being labeled as causing and owning the riots.
Not weak, complicit.
My bet is Deep State is cutting it’s losses. The rioting was doing more damage to the Dems than Trump. Money going to hire the rent-a-mobs will be cut off. And no money, no riots.
Thanks to the arrival of tripod supported gatling guns off of A-10’s, they no longer need as many guys there. :)
The Soros rioters are not friends of these kooky politicians, they will continue their destruction and crime.
They’re afraid. I’ll bet you see people leave the area.
I think the riots continue, these anarchists are not controlled by Democrats - they want destruction for destruction sake.
This will end badly.
The Gov. won’t allow state troopers to police effectively.
Seems an overwhelming majority have already gone with the latter.
This is a lie, they were told by Trump to clean this mess up or the feds are coming to clean it up. They agreed to do something . If they don’t all hell is gonna break loose.
And “The Guv” is gloating over the fact that forces are being redeployed?
Remember, they can come back just as quickly as they were withdrawn.
There are over 200,000 signatures to recall the Governor.
Our admitted bisexual governor....only in Oregon. So ugly she has to open her sexual options to both genders....or all 75 in Oregon.
