Troops are being sent to Portland, Oregon, by order of President Donald Trump to protect Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities, which he claims are under siege by Antifa and other domestic terrorists. The deployment aims to safeguard what he describes as a "war-torn" city and to quell protests against immigration detention. President Trump has authorized the use of "full force" if necessary to handle what he calls domestic terrorists and to restore order amid escalating tensions around the ICE facilities. This move has faced criticism from local officials who see no justification for the federal troop presence and consider it an abuse of authority.
