The Homeland Security Department was legally authorized to send federal officers to Portland last summer to protect federal property, but they were “unprepared” to carry out their duties due to inadequate strategies, training, and equipment, according to an internal watchdog.
A Friday report from the DHS inspector general offers a sometimes critical assessment of how the Trump administration handled sending hundreds of federal officers to the Oregon city during a period of heightened unrest that followed the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
“[Homeland Security] had the legal authority to designate and deploy DHS law enforcement officers from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and United States Secret Service to help FPS protect Federal facilities in Portland, Oregon,” the report said.

In the wake of mass shootings in Atlanta, Boulder and Indianapolis, I was reminded of a morning in June 2019, when I was on my way into the office and received a panicked phone call with frightening news. A gunman wearing tactical gear and carrying a large rifle was shooting into the lobby of the Earle Cabell Federal Building in Dallas. Many of my team of federal prosecutors were just arriving into work or were already inside as were hundreds of other federal employees.
We were so fortunate. The Federal Protective Service took down the shooter, and no one else was killed or injured. But that moment came back vividly as I watched the recent coverage of the shooters in Atlanta, Boulder and Indianapolis.
