Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Acting Secretary Chad Wolf announced Wednesday that federal law enforcement agents will be sent to Chicago and Albuquerque, but he stressed that their mission will differ from the recent action in Portland.

Wolf said that in Chicago, citizens are shooting and killing each other “on the streets,” and in Portland, “anarchists” are attacking a federal courthouse. The agents that were deployed in Portland were there to protect a federal courthouse after it was attacked.
