WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump's administration has put special law enforcement teams in place to protect monuments it believes could be vandalised by protesters over the 4th of July holiday weekend, the Department of Homeland Security announced on Wednesday .
He has taken a hard line on removing public statues commemorating figures from history, which he has called"beautiful", and has threatened to use force on protesters defacing memorials. "While the department respects every American's right to protest peacefully, violence and civil unrest will not be tolerated," Acting Secretary Chad Wolf said in the announcement.
