President Donald Trump said he has ordered troops to deploy to Portland, Oregon, in response to escalating clashes outside federal immigration facilities, vowing to use “full force” if necessary against what he called “domestic terrorists.”
“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,” Trump wrote in a Sept. 27 post on Truth Social.
