Oregon Gov. Kate Brown is sending state police back to Portland as part of an effort to end unrest that has continued virtually every night since May 28.

Oregon State Police troopers will send personnel and resources to the state’s largest city, Brown said in a plan released late Sunday. That will free up the Portland Police Bureau to arrest and charge people engaging in violent acts like arson and physical violence.
