President Donald Trump on Monday said he plans to send law enforcement personnel to some major U.S. cities run by "radical left" Democrats, as a federal crackdown on anti-racism protests including the use of unmarked cars and unidentified officers in camouflage in Portland, Oregon, angers people across the country.

"We're sending law enforcement," Trump told reporters at the White House. "We can’t let this happen to the cities," Trump said as his administration plans to intervene in urban centers he says have lost control of anti-racism demonstrations.

State and local leaders in Oregon, as well as members of Congress, meanwhile, have called for Trump to remove the Department of Homeland Security officers from Portland, as crowds continue to gather to protest police brutality and systemic racism.

"They've been there three days and they really have done a fantastic job in a very short period of time, no problem," Trump said of law enforcement sent to the historically liberal city. "They grab a lot of people and jail the leaders. These are anarchists."
