White House reviewing possible funding cuts for Portland amid immigration protests

President Trump has directed aides to review aid for Portland, Ore., that could be cut amid immigration protests in the city, the White House said Friday.

"He has directed his team here at the White House to begin reviewing aid that can be potentially be cut in Portland. We will not fund states that allow anarchy," press secretary Karoline Leavitt said during a press briefing.

Trump has directed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to "provide all necessary troops to protect war-ravaged Portland and any ICE facilities under siege from attack by Antifa and other left-wing domestic terrorists," Leavitt added.

The National Guard had previously mobilized 200 troops in response to an announcement from Trump that he would intervene in the city.

There have been protests in Portland dating back to June in response to the Trump administration's aggressive deportation efforts. The FBI field office in Portland said Thursday it had made 128 arrests in the city since June 9.

The Trump administration has repeatedly threatened action against Democratic-led cities and states that do not comply with its immigration enforcement agenda. Trump on Friday reversed funding cuts for New York over an immigration dispute.
