Trump says ‘it’s anarchy’ in Portland. Here’s why locals say that’s far from reality

Portland officials and residents are disputing President Trump's claims of 'anarchy' and federal intervention needs. The city and state are suing the administration, calling troop deployment 'unlawful' and 'baseless,' asserting no insurrection or national security threat exists. Locals describe protests near the ICE facility as having calmed significantly since summer, contradicting Trump's depiction of ongoing violence and destruction. The move is seen by some as an attempt to provoke conflict, while a Republican official supports the action to protect ICE facilities.
