president\u2019s plan to deploy National Guard troops to the city.<\/p>\n<p>Noem told Fox News host Jesse Watters that she left her meeting with Mayor Wilson \u201cextremely disappointed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s continuing to play politics,\u201d she said. \u201cWhat I told him is that if he did not follow through on some of these security measures for our

safety.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\">\n<div id=\"e1c09a52-67a1-44a3-a58e-fc2bf67380c6\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet

facility alongside federal agents earlier in the day, Noem accused Wilson of cowardice, saying his hesitation had endangered both citizens and law enforcement.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-7\">Advertisement<\/div>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s going to have blood on his hands because he sat around and thought too long,\u201d she said. \u201cHe\u2019s too scared of the political ramifications of making a big decision to keep his city safe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Noem claimed the unrest surrounding Portland\u2019s ICE operations was being driven by \u201cprofessional terrorists,\u201d echoing the Trump administration\u2019s argument that organized agitators were targeting federal facilities nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s my concern \u2014 you\u2019ve got so many people here in Portland playing politics,\u201d she added. \u201cThey don\u2019t realize they\u2019re up against professionals who know exactly what they\u2019re doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block

requests for comment. However, the mayor later issued a written statement describing his meeting with Noem as \u201ccordial but deeply concerning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat the secretary saw today matches our reports: Portland continues to manage public safety professionally and responsibly, irrespective of the claims of out-of-state social media influencers,\u201d Wilson said.<\/p>\n<p>He rejected Noem\u2019s framing of the city as \u201cout of control,\u201d adding, \u201cThe tactics used by federal agents at the ICE facility are troubling and likely unconstitutional. We still do not know what \u2018Full Force\u2019 against Portland means, or how the administration plans to use our city as a military training ground.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wilson said he plans to \u201cexplore all options to protect our community and our right to free expression.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Noem\u2019s visit came two days after a federal judge temporarily blocked the administration\u2019s plan to deploy National Guard troops to Oregon, ruling that the White House had not demonstrated a sufficient need for military intervention. The government has appealed the decision.<\/p>\n<p>President Trump, for his part, has repeatedly described Portland as \u201cwar-ravaged,\u201d saying local officials have allowed chaos to fester by refusing to cooperate with federal authorities.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-12\">\n<div class=\"ai-delayed ai-delayed-12\" data-delay=\"4000\" data-block=\"12\" data-code=\"PGRpdiBjbGFzcz0iYWktbGF6eSIgZGF0YS1jb2RlPSJQSE5qY21sd2RDQmhjM2x1WXlCcFpEMGlRVlkyTkdKbE1qRTNZekl3WWpFMlpXTTBPV0l3TTJOallqUWlJSFI1Y0dVOUluUmxlSFF2YW1GMllYTmpjbWx3ZENJZ2MzSmpQU0pvZEhSd2N6b3ZMM1JuTVM1MmFXUmpjblZ1WTJndVkyOXRMMkZ3YVM5aFpITmxjblpsY2k5emNIUS9RVlpmVkVGSFNVUTlOalJpWlRJeE4yTXlNR0l4Tm1Wak5EbGlNRE5qWTJJMEprRldYMUJWUWt4SlUwaEZVa2xFUFRZME9EZzROVFF6WXpFeU1tRTFORFExTVRBd1pqbGtPQ0krUEM5elkzSnBjSFErIiBkYXRhLWNsYXNzPSJZMjlrWlMxaWJHOWphdz09Ij48L2Rpdj4K\" data-class=\"Y29kZS1ibG9jaw==\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cThis is not about politics,\u201d Trump said earlier this week. \u201cIt\u2019s about restoring law and order.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Local law enforcement officials dispute that characterization.
