National Guard troops are making their way to Portland, Oregon, to protect immigration facilities from leftist rioters besieging the city in recent months.
The troops began reporting for duty in Portland on Wednesday, a Department of War (DOW) official told the Daily Caller News Foundation, shortly after President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that the National Guard is “now in place” in Oregon to counteract “lawless mayhem.” Authorities have arrested and charged dozens of people in relation to protests or attacks against immigrationofficials in Portland since Trump took office.
“Members of the Oregon National Guard are reporting for duty, conducting training, and preparing to support U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other U.S. Government personnel who are performing federal functions, including the enforcement of federal law, and to protect federal property in Oregon,” Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell told the DCNF.
