DHS Secretary Kristi Noem Visits Portland Amid National Guard Controversy
(Portland, OR) -- Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem visited Portland Tuesday to tour the city's ICE facility and meet with Oregon Governor Tina Kotek. The visit comes days after President Trump ordered National Guard troops to Oregon - a move blocked by a federal judge. Kotek again told Noem there's no insurrection in the state and warned against military involvement in local policing. During her visit, Noem demanded increased security around the ICE building, threatening to send more federal officers if city officials don't comply. Protesters and counterprotesters gathered outside during the visit, though no arrests were reported.
