Trump: ‘No choice’ but to send National Guard to Portland
President Trump deployed around 200 National Guard troops to Portland citing ongoing unrest and law enforcement challenges, while Oregon officials dispute the necessity of the deployment.
- On September 27th, President Donald Trump activated the Oregon National Guard under Title 10, defending the move as necessary after federal forces failed to enforce laws in Portland, Oregon.
- After viewing protest footage, President Donald Trump framed Portland as apocalyptic and told top military leaders Tuesday he planned to use U.S. cities as training grounds to fight an internal enemy.
- Around 200 troops will patrol the city under an 80-day order, encompassing a sixty day mission with at least $3.8 million in salary costs, Oregon Military Department said.
- Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield responded by suing, saying the president misrepresented conditions, while as of Wednesday only six protesters remained outside the ICE office in South Portland.
- State officials said troops will be under U.S. Northern Command as mobilization proceeds slowly with soldiers attending civil‑disturbance training; violent crime in Portland is down 51%.
