Trump orders deployment of troops to Portland and authorises 'full force'

President Trump has ordered US troops to Portland, Oregon, authorizing "full force" if necessary to protect federal facilities from "Antifa and other domestic terrorists." This expands the administration's crackdown on illegal immigration. Portland's Democrat lawmakers, including Mayor Keith Wilson, have opposed federal intervention, with Wilson stating the city does not need it. The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility has been a site of protests and clashes. Trump previously described Portland as "hell" and hinted at action against "professional agitators and anarchists." The order's specifics regarding National Guard or regular military remain unclear.
