Portland set to see Trump crime crackdown reckoning after 2020's humiliating violence spree
Portland, Oregon, was the site of violent riots in 2020 under the first Trump administration, and is set to see a new crime crackdown initiative as federal officials converge on the city.
In recent days, Oregon officials have scrambled to respond to Trump’s authorization of federal troops, from marching in peaceful protests to filing a motion to block the deployment of 200 state National Guard troops to a federal immigration building in Portland.
The suit names President Donald Trump, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and the Defense Department, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and the Department of Homeland Security as defendants. It asks a federal court in Portland to stop the Trump administration from deploying troops and declare the deployment unlawful.
Portland is the latest American city where Trump said he’ll send the military. But his fixation on Oregon is different.
Chicago and Portland leaders have rebuked the Trump administration's efforts to send federal troops into the cities.
President’s threat to send in National Guard and use ‘full force’ against protesters is ‘wholly pretextual,’ officials argue
President Trump had said he will send troops to Portland to protect U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities, which he said were "under attack."
