Federal officials on Sept. 30 rejected a request by Portland’s mayor Ted Wheeler to cancel the deputization of local law enforcement officers.

“Law enforcement and law-abiding citizens of Portland have endured months of nightly criminal violence and destruction,” Billy Williams, U.S. attorney for the District of Oregon, and Ross Burger, U.S. marshal for the District of Oregon, said in a joint statement.
