No National Guard in Portland after judge's ruling
Share and Follow


PORTLAND () The scene outside an ICE facility in Portland, Oregon, was quiet shortly after a federal judge made a ruling that blocked the Trump administration from sending National Guard troops to the city.

Protestors and federal agents have clashed outside the facility in nonstop demonstrations, with tensions continuing to grow after the arrests of hundreds of people during them. However, there has been word of mobilizing and training 200 Oregon National Guard troops, and there are now 300 troops from California already on the ground in Oregon.

Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has authorized President Donald Trump’s request to send hundreds of troops from his state there as well.

The state of Oregon has amended its lawsuit against the Trump administration to include California after Gov. Gavin Newsom spoke out against federalizing the state’s troops and sending them to Portland. Still, Trump is continuing his calls for more protection for federal agents as they carry out immigration arrests.

Oregon leaders have stressed that the unrest from the protests is under check and can be handled by local authorities.

“The facts on the ground in Oregon haven’t changed, there is no need for military intervention in Oregon, there’s no insurrection in Portland, there’s no threat to national security,” Gov. Tina Kotek, a Democrat, said. “Oregon is our home, not a military target.”

Despite Kotek’s objections, Trump has continued to call Portland “war-ravaged” and plagued by unrest due to antifa, which he has recently declared a terrorist organization.
