Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem on Tuesday visited the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Portland, where protests continue amid the administration’s immigration crackdown.

Videos shared inside the facility showed Noem meeting with local officials and taking the first few minutes to pray over officers.

Her visit followed a heated meeting with Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek at the Portland airport, the governor’s office confirmed.

The Oregon National Guard members are currently staged at Camp Rilea and the California National Guard is at Camp Withycombe, according to the statement.

“Judge Karin J. Immergut’s orders are a clear and forceful rebuttal to President Trump’s misuse of states’ National Guard. Thus, I am directing Northern Command to send Oregon’s citizen-soldiers home from Camp Rilea immediately,” Kotek wrote.

“Let’s remember that these Oregonians are our neighbors and friends, who have been unlawfully uprooted from their family and careers—they deserve better than this,” she added.
