A small group of protestors showed up at acting Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf who has a wife and two small children.
The women with the bullhorn said that “there’s no legal consequences” for people like him. “[Wolf] lives here quietly…and we need to do something about that.”
As the liberal women ranted on her megaphone she said that there group at Wolf’s home will continue to grow and they plan on making things uncomfortable for him.
One speaker at the protest outside of Sec. Chad Wolf’s home complains how there’s no financial, career, and legal consequences for people like him. Says there must be social/political consequences: “[Wolf] lives here quietly…and we need to do something about that.” pic.twitter.com/b47dUrKFrB

Activists went to Wolf’s home to criticize the use of federal officers in Portland and Seattle to protect federal property.
They claim “peaceful protestors” are being abused by federal authorities. Those peaceful protestors have injured at least six federal officers. The “peaceful protestors” have turned Portland and Seattle into a war zone. Below is video only from this weekend…
Federal authorities were forced to drive activists away from the courthouse after they used a metal grinder and ropes to tear down the fence protecting the building. After federal officers pushed the crowd away, Portland Police did arrive and assist them in breaking up the riot. Mayor Wheeler is slamming the President on CNN but in his city the police are assisting.
Some people in the crowd just used an electric saw on the fence and are now working with a hammer to get the bolts off pic.twitter.com/hnOpvLF1OW

Federal officers did break up the crowd and pushed into the park to clear out the activists. Note the professionalism coming from the federal officers as they push the crowd back as they order the crowd to disperse.
Federal officers sweep the park and push rioters away from the courthouse. One sprays me in the face with something. I have my mask on, but the skin that isn’t covered is burning pic.twitter.com/4OYDw44Eax

Federal officers can only push the rioters back so far however, Portland Police arrived to break up the riot.

Aftermath…
Just after 4am, someone launched a water bottle at the line of officers. They responded with pellets, tear gas, pepper spray etc. Many of the remaining rioters retreated past the park pic.twitter.com/NwxEUel3e3

This is what those people harassing DHS Secretary Wolf approve of.
