U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced plans for her department to acquire additional federal properties in Portland and Chicago during a Thursday cabinet meeting with President Donald Trump, as part of the administration’s continued legal fight over protesters in the city.

Noem said Thursday that her recent visit to the city proved to her that harder measures are needed.

“I met with the governor, I met with the mayor, the chief of police and superintendent of the highway patrol,” Noem told Trump in a televised cabinet meeting. “They are all lying and disingenuous and dishonest people, because as soon as you leave the room then they make the exact opposite response.”

Both Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek and Portland Mayor Keith Wilson have said repeatedly that federal troops are not needed and that protests in the city are small and under control.

“We’re not going to back off,” Noem said, “in fact, we’re doubling down.”

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday temporarily halted the Trump administration’s plan to send Oregon National Guard troops into Portland, issuing a short-term order that leaves the soldiers under federal control but keeps them off city streets.

The three-judge panel said the administrative stay is intended to “minimize harm” while the court reviews whether to impose a longer hold on the case. Arguments on that question are scheduled for Thursday morning.

The question of whether or not President Donald Trump can order members of the Oregon National Guard into Portland has raged for more than a week, after the president said he would send 200 troops into Portland to protect federal officers and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in South Portland, where small protests have occurred since June.
