On September 21, the Department of Justice released an official document that identified “New York City, Portland and Seattle as jurisdictions permitting anarchy, violence and destruction.”
President Trump has threatened to cut off federal funding to cities that met that designation.

The Department of Justice does not make policy on the basis of political expediency.
