Federal agents began arriving in “war ravaged” Portland, Ore., over the weekend after President Donald Trump ordered military deployment to the city, with at least one clash already erupting outside an ICE facility.
An Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer was seen Friday shoving a protester to the ground, according to video footage captured by KATU-TV.
Another demonstrator was detained as agents confronted crowds outside the South Portland site.
In an early-morning Truth Social post Saturday, Trump said he authorized “full force” to protect what he called “War ravaged Portland” and federal buildings “under siege by ANTIFA, and other domestic terrorists.”
Mayor Keith Wilson, speaking at a late-night press conference Friday, said, “We now have a sudden influx of federal agents in our city.
“We did not ask for them to come. They are here without precedent or purpose,” Wilson said.
Residents reacted sharply to the deployment.
David Schmidt, who lives near the ICE building, told KATU, “Every night, there’s tons of protesters basically being vagrants on the street. … They are making noise constantly, even when nobody from ICE is outside.”
Other locals warned that the federal presence could escalate unrest.
“I just remember watching night after night … in 2020, and I’m just worried that we’re going to see things blow up like they did in 2020,” said Ocean Hosojasso of Portland.
The White House did not provide details on the number of troops or their assignments.
Pentagon officials did not immediately respond to requests for information, according to the AP. A Politico report said the order came as a surprise to many inside the Pentagon.

Wednesday night this week …
Nobody imposes and Imposed order in Portland for 4 years. The nutcases are basically berserkers who have no idea what’s about to hit them and no idea that they have no national support!
Oregon/Portland officials keep saying there is no issue that warrants Federal intervention.
We are going to find out over the next week or so.
Guaranteed.
You don’t have a country if the government cannot or will not enforce its’ laws.
There. Fixed it.
Yeah, too many idiots around. I live in eastern Linn County, in the hills, where it’s more likely that crazy lefties would be attacked.

Mayor Keith Wilson, speaking at a late-night press conference Friday, said, “We now have a sudden influx of federal agents in our city. We did not ask for them to come. They are here without precedent or purpose.”
Riots are occurring in the city over ICE arrests and the mayor says that federal troops aren't needed.
“and the mayor says that federal troops aren’t needed”
Well, they’re not needed if there is no effort to enforce, or even allow federal law. Or it you want to protect federal property, institutions and personnel.
However, that is not an option.
I strongly recommend the mayor not get in the way.
“full force”
full metal jacket + magnum force= FF
Break out the water cannons.
Just ask the mayor of each city if they want Federal help. If not, then just protect Federal buildings and the employees. Just see how elections can change.
Put them in furry bracelets....in the everglades.

It’s localized. It’s at the ICE detention facility largely. I went to the Indy Car race there in August and had a great time. Even dined at a Russian restaurant. It’s just an extremely leftist town.
Just don’t wear a red hat downtown, remember a maga wearing young man was murdered in cold blood for the hat
Also remember Portland is the Antifa capital it’s kind of like hitting their headcounters.
We have lots of businesses downtown that are closing, moving out, boarded up. Nobody I know goes downtown anymore.
From Wikipedia, where they are proud of these firsts...
