The Democratic mayor of Portland Ted Wheeler said Saturday he is grateful to President Joe Biden for rescinding Donald Trump s order allowing an influx of federal agents to help quell riots that gripped the city last summer.
The executive order, issued in July, directed agents to protect monuments, statues and federal property as violent mobs ransacked Oregon s largest city following demonstrations sparked by George Floyd s murder.
The order is one of several issued by Trump that Biden has now rescinded, prompting Wheeler to tweet: Thankful for the support of the current administration.
