Trump orders troops to Portland amid safety claims, defying state and local opposition.
President Donald Trump announced on September 28, 2025, he will deploy federal troops to Portland, Oregon, citing threats to ICE facilities from alleged domestic terrorists and Antifa, calling the city “war ravaged.” He authorized the Department of Defense to send forces, though details on timing, numbers, or types were not provided.
Oregon Governor Tina Kotek rejected the move, stating the city is safe and stable, and the state will not consent to military deployment.
Portland Mayor Keith Wilson also opposed the action, noting no signs of unrest on a peaceful day.
Residents expressed confusion, with no visible disturbances.
Trump has previously sent troops to Los Angeles despite state opposition and is threatening deployments to Chicago, while about 150 troops are expected in Memphis amid protests.
The federal government is appealing a court decision that ruled his prior Los Angeles deployment unlawful.
