PORTLAND, Ore. — Portland can soon expect a "ramp-up" of federal law enforcement activity, Trump border czar Tom Homan intimated during comments to members of the press in Washington, D.C. on Thursday.

Homan began by discussing the "crime problem" in Chicago, and said that President Donald Trump was "thinking about" sending a large contingent of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to operate out of a naval base there.

"Operations are ramped up across the country, but you're gonna see a ramp-up of operations in Chicago, absolutely," Homan said. "You're gonna see a ramp-up of operations in New York. You're gonna see a ramp-up of operations continue in LA and, you know, Portland, Seattle ... I mean, all these sanctuary cities that refuse to work with ICE."
