On Wednesday, Oregon Governor Kate Brown said the Trump administration had agreed to immediately begin a gradual withdrawal of federal law enforcement officers sent to Portland to prevent rioters from damaging federal property.

Demonstrators gather in Portland for a new round of protests over the presence and the use of force by federal agents against protesters.

Earlier, Oregon Governor Kate Brown and Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler said the federal police presence in the city has inflamed tensions amid nationwide protests following the 25 May death of African-American former convict George Floyd in police custody.
