In response to the chaos, former law enforcement officials, including Tom Holman, have been pledging visits to Portland to assess and potentially increase federal intervention. Holman has criticized city officials for their passive stance and advocates for more aggressive enforcement, including cracking down on illegal protests and restoring order.
Meanwhile, some city officials have hinted at revoking permits for the ICE facility, viewing it as a symbolic gesture against federal immigration policies. However, critics argue this would only hinder lawful deportation efforts and embolden protesters further, escalating the conflict.
