She said that the Ministry of Justice spoke with outgoing Friday morning and “will launch a complete investigation into her arrest”.

“This incident is part of a disturbing trend in Portland, where left crowds think they decide who can visit and live in their city. It is not their city. It is the city of the American people and President Trump will restore this,” said Leavitt. “I just spoke with the president of this, and he managed his team here at the White House to start reviewing the help that can potentially be cut in Portland. We will not finance the states that allow anarchy.

“There will also be an additional increase in federal resources for Portland immediately, including improved customs and border resources (CBP) and US immigration and customs’ application (ICE). The law and the order will prevail, and President Trump will ensure this.”

Since the beginning of June, “antifa terrorists have beset the office of the ice field in South Portland,” Leavitt said on Friday.

“These mad radical crazy people violently violently violated the installation of ice using a stop panel like Aries, launched explosives and other projectiles in the police, assaults on several occasions and Dox officers, reprimand their laws respectful of laws and even launched a guillotine in front of the installation of ice,” she told journalists.

Leavitt said the Tri-Garde was “arrested by Portland police after being caught up in Antifa and defended against these attacks”.

“But instead of arresting these violent mafia members, night after night after night, who ravaged this community, the police arrested a journalist who was there trying to document chaos,” she added.
