Former DHS Sec. Michael Chertoff suggests the Department of Homeland Security may be exceeding its authority by deploying federal law enforcement officials to the streets of Portland, Oregon. Listen to more of his interview with jonkarl and rickklein:
"You can protect federal property, but that doesn't mean it's an unlimited license to roam around the streets and pick up people based on some suspicion that maybe they’re involved or gonna be involved in something," Chertoff told ABC News'"Powerhouse Politics" podcast.
Acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolf, at that same press conference, said he's urged state and local officials to call him to work on a solution. Michael Chertoff, Executive Chairman and Co-Founder of The Chertoff Group, speaks onstage during the 2019 Concordia Annual Summit, Sept. 23, 2019, in New York City.
