Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said the administration is looking into “funding streams” for “highly organized” ICE protests around the country.

McLaughlin, who is the DHS assistant secretary for public affairs, joined Fox News on Saturday just as President Donald Trump announced he was sending troops to Portland and other cities to protect ICE facilities “under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists.”
