Acting Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Mark Morgan on July 5 condemned the violence in Portland, Oregon, over the Fourth of July weekend, when protests-turned-riots in the city led to Border Patrol agents being called in to assist police officers.

Portland police officers first declared late on July 4 that a protest near the Justice Center had become a riot on the 38th consecutive day of civil unrest in Oregon’s largest city.
