President Donald Trump says he has instructed Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem not to intervene in protests in Democrat-led cities unless local authorities specifically request federal assistance.
Trump emphasized that federal forces will focus on protecting government property, amid ongoing debates over federal operations in cities such as Minneapolis, where protests have followed controversial enforcement actions and confrontations involving federal agents.
The announcement clarifies the administration’s approach to managing demonstrations while maintaining federal oversight of critical infrastructure.
