Kristi Noem, Trump’s Homeland Security Secretary, says that the Portland and Oregon: mayor, governor, chief of police, and the superintendent of the highway patrol are all lying about Antifa and what is or is not going on in Portland.

Since his swearing in, Trump has been pursuing plans laid out in Project 2025 to dramatically expand presidential power and reduce the size of the federal workforce.
