Portland is nothing but a 'mecca for intolerance,' says Jennifer Sey

‘Fox News @ Night’ panelists Jennifer Sey and Olivia Viola discuss protests against Riley Gaines at Portland State University and biological men participating in women's sports.

Democratic Portland Mayor Keith Wilson warned in an email sent to thousands of recipients that President Donald Trump could target Portland, Oregon, next if it doesn't fix its homelessness crisis, according to OregonLive.

"Recent events in Washington, D.C., show us what will happen to Portland if we don’t move with speed, purpose and compassion to address the humanitarian crisis on our streets," Wilson wrote, according to OregonLive. "The federal administration deploys bulldozers and mass arrests by masked agents; the opposite of our outreach worker and emergency shelter strategy."

Trump deployed the National Guard to Washington, D.C., to crack down on crime in the city and said he planned to send troops to Chicago as well. 

"Let’s work together by volunteering and donating, and prove the administration’s heavy-handed tactics are not needed in our city," the email continued, according to OregonLive.

TRUMP VOWS TO MAKE DC 'SAFER' AND 'BEAUTIFUL' AS CAPITAL BATTLES CRIME AND HOMELESSNESS

The White House told Fox News Digital getting homeless people off the streets is "common sense." 

"All local leaders should see the tremendous results achieved by President Trump in D.C. and look to emulate them in their own cities. President Trump’s actions to get homeless people off the street makes the city safer for residents, visitors and the homeless people themselves. This is common sense and should be embraced by others around the country," White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson. 

Wilson’s email reportedly included information about how people can help nonprofit organizations that run homeless programs in the city.

The mayor also hopes to recruit volunteers to engage with homeless people across the city, the outlet reported. Services listed included haircuts, resume-writing help and veterinary care.

OregonLive reported the email also outlined larger donation needs, including $12,500 for "worship chairs."

"In this case, we’re acting primarily as a switchboard," Taylor Zajonc, Wilson's deputy chief of staff, told OregonLive. "The city of Portland is not accepting any kinds of donations directly but trying to connect people to nonprofit providers."

PORTLAND ANTI-ICE RIOT CRUSHED BY FEDERAL AGENTS 

Zajonc said they hoped to draw "an extremely clear distinction" between how the mayor wants to address the crisis and how Trump might approach it.

Wilson reaffirmed his commitment to Portland’s sanctuary city policies after a night of violence outside a local U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility.

He vowed that local police would not aid ICE and said he’s working with Portland police to determine a response to the Labor Day violence outside the South Macadam Avenue facility, the latest in a series of incidents there in recent months.

Anti-ICE protesters were captured on video rolling out a guillotine and confronting police before law enforcement fired munitions to disperse the crowd.
