International Desk: The Trump administration is planning to withdraw some federal security forces from Portland, Oregon, after weeks of clashes with protesters.
US Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf said the pullout was conditional on local police protecting federal buildings, the focal point of unrest.
Oregon Governor Kate Brown said federal agents would start leaving the state's biggest city from Thursday.
Portland has been rocked by 62 consecutive days of demonstrations, BBC reported.
What did federal and state officials say?
In his statement, the US homeland security secretary set no timeline for a pullout.
But he said he and the governor had “agreed to a joint plan to end the violent activity in Portland directed at federal properties and law enforcement officers”.
