Trump Mobilizes National Guard in Portland Amidst Protest Clash

Donald Trump has authorized the deployment of the National Guard to Portland, Oregon, granting them “full force, if necessary,” to address ongoing protests. This decision comes despite strong opposition from local and state officials who argue the president’s assessment of the situation is misinformed.

President Trump stated that troops are being deployed to protect “war ravaged Portland,” claiming federal immigration facilities are “under siege from attack by Antifa and other domestic terrorists.” However, Portland officials have vehemently rejected this characterization and the need for military intervention.

Oregon’s Democratic Governor, Tina Kotek, countered the president’s claims, asserting, “There is no insurrection. There is no threat to national security and there is no need for military troops in our major city.” The deployment highlights a growing federal-state standoff over the handling of civil unrest.
