Trump directs defense secretary to deploy troops to Portland

President Trump announced he is directing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to deploy "necessary Troops" to Portland, citing protection for "War ravaged Portland" and ICE facilities allegedly under attack by Antifa and "domestic terrorists." He authorized "Full Force, if necessary." This move follows Trump's repeated criticism of Portland as "anarchy." Portland Mayor Keith Wilson expressed disappointment, stating the deployment was unsought and could harm the city, while Senator Jeff Merkley urged residents to avoid confrontation.
