Acting secretary Chad Wolf emphasized that the Department of Homeland Security had the authority to protect the roughly 9,000 federal buildings located in any state, regardless of how state leaders felt about a federalized presence.
Speaking to Fox News hosts on Monday morning, Wolf blamed state leaders for the ongoing protests that has prompted the deployment of DHS agents to federal buildings last week, including a courthouse in Portland, Oregon.
State leaders have "fostered this environment that allows these individuals to attack the courthouse," Wolf said during the Fox News interview, adding that,"I don't need invitations by the state, state mayors, or state governors to do our job."
"We're going to do that, whether they like us there or not," Wolf said. "That's our responsibility."
