The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) revealed on Tuesday that a new American flag was raised by a federal officer after protesters set fire to the original flag at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Portland, Oregon on July 4th.

“On Independence Day, the ICE facility in South Portland became the target of violent rioters,” DHS stated to Fox News. “These individuals assaulted law enforcement, vandalized federal property, and set an American flag ablaze.”

Authorities reported that the rioters damaged the federal facility by cutting internet cables, breaking the sprinkler system, and hurling rocks and fireworks at law enforcement officers.

Border Czar Tom Homan, on Fox News’ “Kudlow” Tuesday night, vowed to “double down and triple down” on sanctuary cities that are obstructing ICE operations, specifically mentioning Portland.

“We’re going to do the job,” Homan said. “We’re going to do it in Portland too. But for the mayors of New York City and Chicago, President [Donald] Trump made it clear two weeks ago, we are going to double down and triple down the sanctuary cities. … If we can’t arrest that bad guy in the jail, then we’ll go to the community and we’ll find him. Or we’ll do more worksite enforcement.”

He added that when additional searches happen, agents will find other illegal immigrants who “aren’t a criminal target, but they’re in the country illegally,” and “we’re gonna arrest them too.”

Homan clarified the administration is not targeting sanctuary cities “because they’re blue,” but because they pose a risk to public safety.

“We agree with all the sheriffs in Florida,” he said. “They’re taking our detainers. They’re not releasing illegal alien public safety threats. They’re calling us, so we can send less resources in Florida and send them to New York, Chicago, Portland and L.A.”
