In a letter released Thursday, Wolf, the acting DHS secretary, said, “Portland has been under siege for 47 straight days by a violent mob while local political leaders refuse to restore order to protect their city.”
“A federal courthouse is a symbol of justice,” Wolf wrote, denigrating protests against racism in the U.S. criminal justice system as an angry mob. “To attack it is to attack America.”

Culture wars have been part of American politics for decades. Hot-button issues like immigration, family values and respect for the American flag can get a more powerful reaction from voters than dry debates over taxes or Medicare.

Experts worry that the loyalty purge will cost the Pentagon talent and institutional memory, and further stretch the officials who remain as the department struggles to fill more than a dozen senior positions.
“This kind of churn is generally bad because the wider the cracks are, the more things fall through the cracks,” said Lindsay Cohn, an associate professor at the Naval War College, who was speaking in a personal capacity.
Mr. Trump is making it very clear that he has no room for even mild dissent, and that he has no desire to include anyone but true loyalists in his government.”
It also may have a chilling effect on qualified people who are considering jobs in the Pentagon.
“I’ve never seen something quite like this before,” said one former senior DoD official who served in the Obama administration. “There are good qualified experienced people who are no longer interested in the opportunity to serve because they don’t want to expose themselves to a situation like this. It does put a real chill on the environment for people.”
