MARIA BARTIROMO (ANCHOR): Secretary, we were just going through the situation in Portland. I want to get to the other major cities of our country and the violence happening there, but why can't -- before we finish on Portland, why can't you just arrest the leadership in Portland because of their ignoring what's really happening on the ground?
CHAD WOLF (ACTING DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY SECRETARY): Well we absolutely are doing that. So we're working with the FBI there in Portland, the U.S. Attorney's office there in Portland to address the leaders that are organizing this and then going after them. We're also making arrests every night. We made more than seven or eight arrests last night and we'll continue to do that, we'll continue to hold these criminals accountable. If the city government won't, the federal government will hold these folks accountable.
