Portland, Oregon, Mayor Ted Wheeler said Saturday he was grateful for the White House’s "support" after President Biden reversed a Trump administration order that allowed federal agents to intervene in the city's riots last summer. "Thankful for the support of the current administration," the embattled mayor, who narrowly won reelection, pointedly wrote on Twitter. The anti-rioting executive order was among several Biden reversed Friday through his own executive orders. Trump actions canceled by Biden included the former president's July order to create a garden of monuments to "American Heroes" in response to damage to statues across the U.S.
