Acting Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Chad Wolf promised not to withdraw federal officers from Portland after they clashed with rioters outside a federal courthouse.

“DHS is not going to back down from our responsibilities. We are not escalating, we are protecting,” Wolf said in an appearance on “Fox & Friends” on July 20.
