Mr. Trump's deployment of federal law enforcement is highly unusual:
特朗普（在波特蘭）部署聯邦執法人員的做法極不尋常：
He is acting in spite of local opposition — city leaders are not asking for help —
他不顧當地反對采取了這一行動——當地城市的領導人并未向他尋求幫助——
and his actions go beyond emergency steps taken by some past American leaders like President George H.W. Bush,
行動等級也已超越喬治·H·W·布什總統等前任總統們采取的緊急措施，
who sent troops to quell Los Angeles in 1992 at the request of California officials.
例如，1992年，布什總統是應加州官員要求才派遣軍隊平息洛杉磯暴亂的。

Another top official, Mark Morgan, disputed claims that the agents lacked adequate insignia,
另一名國安局高級官員馬克·摩根則駁斥了特工們沒有合格標識的說法，
showing reporters a camouflaged ballistic vest labeled "POLICE."
為此他還向記者展示一件寫有“警察”字樣的偽裝防彈背心。
Mr. Wolf also blamed local officials for the unrest in Portland.
沃爾夫還將波特蘭治安欠缺的責任歸結到了當地官員頭上。
"I asked the mayor and governor, how long do you plan on having this continue?" Mr. Wolf said.
“我問過他們的市長和州長，你們計劃讓現在的情形持續多久？”沃爾夫說。
"We stand ready. I'm ready to pull my officers out of there if the violence stops."
“我們已經準備好了。只要當地的暴力局面結束了，我隨時都能把我的人撤走。”
