“At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security,
Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War,
Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists,” the president wrote in a
post on Truth Social.
and here is the response from Oregon:
The state of
Oregon filed a lawsuit Sunday to block President Donald Trump’s plan to deploy 200 National Guard troops to Portland. Kotek, Portland Mayor Keith Wilson, and Rayfield, all Democrats, responded by jointly filing the challenge in federal court, arguing the administration’s move is "unlawful" and unnecessary.
There was 1 person killed during those protests.
In the meantime, there have been 6 mass shootings this past weekend in Texas, Louisiana, North Carolina and Michigan that actually killed 15 innocent people, but those cities got no help from Trump sending help!
How does that make sense, other than from the fact that the protests in Portland have been political and Trump has been trying to stop Free Speech coming from the left!
