Trump Threatens to Deploy National Guard to Portland
(Portland, OR) -- President Donald Trump says Portland could be the next city to see National Guard troops, citing protests outside the city's ICE facility. At a press briefing Friday, Trump said Portland is experiencing "destruction" and vowed to "stop that very easily," though he did not share details. Mayor Keith Wilson pushed back, saying Portland police are already managing demonstrations and defending the city's sanctuary status. Oregon's attorney general also warned that the state is ready to fight federal overreach in court. Trump has already sent Guard troops to Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., where deployments have drawn legal challenges.
