Trump said agents should be \u201cvery forceful\u201d against actions like spitting, assaulting officers, damaging vehicles, or throwing rocks, and vowed to defend courthouses and federal buildings as part of his law-and-order agenda. His remarks followed recent anti-ICE demonstrations in Los Angeles and Eugene, Oregon, where protesters clashed with police, vandalized federal buildings and, in some cases, prompted dispersal tactics such as tear gas and arrests.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Trump scraps federal help for blue cities to quell riots unless requested<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2488263\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\">Donald Trump<\/a> has moved to <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >pull back federal law enforcement<\/a> from Democratic-run cities dealing with anti-<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/ice\">ICE<\/a> riots, saying they will only be deployed if requested by local officials.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I have instructed Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, that under no circumstances are we going to participate in various poorly run Democrat Cities with regard to their Protests and\/or Riots unless, and until, they ask us for help,&rdquo; Trump <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/115991701359412321\">posted<\/a> on Truth Social.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4442134\/trump-mocks-tariff-alarmists-wsj-op-ed\/\">Trump mocks tariff alarmists after duties create &#8216;American economic miracle&#8217; instead of &#8216;meltdown&#8217;<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4442079\/what-to-know-partial-government-shutdown-impact\/\">What to know about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nancy-pelosi-blames-president-trump-climate-change-for-migrant-surge\/\" title=\"Nancy Pelosi blames President ..., \u2018climate change\u2019 for migrant surge\">partial government shutdown<\/a> and its impact<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4441523\/white-house-leaks-emerge-season-scandal-hits-trump-cabinet\/\">White House leaks emerge as season of scandal hits Trump Cabinet<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Those future requests would also come with one condition, according to Trump.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Therefore, to all complaining Local Governments, Governors, and Mayors, let us know when you are ready, and we will be there &mdash; But, before we do so, you must use the word, &lsquo;PLEASE,&#8217;&rdquo; he said.<\/p>\n<p>If federal agents are deployed, including from U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection, Trump suggested they would now get more leeway in their use of force.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Please be aware that I have instructed ICE and\/or Border Patrol to be very forceful in this protection of Federal Government Property.
