US EditionWhite House reviewing possible funding cuts for Portland amid immigration protests
- On Oct 3, President Donald Trump directed his team to review federal aid to Portland, Oregon, that can be cut, with Karoline Leavitt saying, `We will not fund states that allow anarchy`.
- Since early June, Antifa have repeatedly attacked the ICE field office in South Portland, using a stop sign as a battering ram and explosives, while conservative journalist Nick Sortor was ambushed and arrested.
- Leavitt announced an immediate surge of U.S. Customs and Border Protection and ICE resources to Portland, the president directed Secretary Pete Hegseth to provide troops, and the Department of Justice will investigate Sortor's arrest.
- Portland will likely see some federal funding blocked by the administration, a move Portland Mayor Keith Wilson and Oregon elected leaders denounced, urging focus on housing and jobs instead.
- Since returning to the White House in January, Trump has repeatedly threatened to withhold federal funding, framing the Portland crackdown as part of a wider effort following Washington, DC.
