The mayors of Portland, Oregon, and five other major U.S. cities appealed Monday to Congress to make it illegal for the federal government to deploy militarized agents to cities that don’t want them.
“This administration’s egregious use of federal force on cities over the objections of local authorities should never happen,” the mayors of Portland; Seattle; Chicago; Kansas City; Albuquerque, New Mexico; and Washington wrote to leaders of the U.S. House and Senate.
Video from early Tuesday showed law enforcement officers filling a street with gas to disperse protesters. Several loud booms could be heard. Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler and City Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty late called for a meeting with Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf to discuss a cease-fire and removal of heightened federal forces from Portland.
Earlier in the day, a U.S. official said militarized officers would remain in Portland until attacks on a federal courthouse cease — and more officers may soon be on the way. “It is not a solution to tell federal officers to leave when there continues to be attacks on federal property and personnel,” U.S. Attorney Billy Williams said. ”We are not leaving the building unprotected to be destroyed by people intent on doing so.”

Make it clear. When the mayors of these cities can prove they can ensure they can stop the attacks on government buildings federal troops can leave.
Until then troops will remain.
Arrest these mayors.
Why doesn’t congress make it illegal for mayors to allow rioters, looters, vandals, and arsonists to run wild in their cities, while not providing sufficient security for law-abiding citizens?
Mr President,
CLOSE Every Federal Office in all these cities, raze the buildings and relocate them to an American City. DO IT TODAY!!!
And I’m sure that the mayor of Atlanta wanted to bar General Sherman from entering, too.
Doing the job that Marxist Democrat Mayors WON’T !!!
I second that.
Leave them to their self inflicted misery.
Aiding, abetting, and protecting ANTIFA, leftist Democrat Military Wing like the KKK in 1870. They should be dismantled
Just like the Jim Crow Democrats in the 50s and 60s.
Sedition?
Or just destruction of Federal property?
Yes.
I am sure winding thru The House is such a Bill. I hope winding thru The Senate is a Bill to put these mayors in jail for destroying federal property.
Good luck with that...............
Nothin’ but pure and simple old fashioned communism.
The first time Sherman burned Atlanta.
This time their own citizens are burning Atlanta...................
Ignore the leftist mayors!!! Send in Federal troops with MAXIMUM lethal force, and deal with the rioters as the violent commie revolutionaries they are!!!!
LAW AND ORDER!!!!
The Democrat/Left America/American-hating mayors cannot “allow” the federal government to stop this. The Democrat/Left must maintain the high level of fear, anger, distrust and depression at least to the first Tuesday in November. Along with the Democrat/Left America/American-hating governors, the mayors and unelected bureaucrats have to do their part to attempt to stop Americans from re-electing Trump .... it ain’t-a gonna work!
Make no mistake. Every member of congress is a pimp or a whore. It just depends upon what the voters demand at the time. And no CongressCreep is going to risk alienating the ghetto vote by denouncing anything that's going on. Cept, maybe, Nascar.
No doubt that whimsical wacky Willie T. Sherman would be amused.
