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.

Dems will really hate it when the crime rate magically drops there soon.
“””Another demonstrator was detained as agents confronted crowds outside the South Portland site.”””
Unlike in the 2020 Peaceful Protests, this time the protesters need to be fully investigated before they are released on bond.
First thing to investigate is the Smartphone of the protester to see who they are in contact with. That can be done without a search warrant.
Next thing is to get a search warrant to open up their smartphone and other computer devices to see what the protestor is saying via texts and emails and/or searching for stuff on Google.
A lot of these stories makes it seem that once you drive into Portland it’s a war zone.
My experience with a couple of national stories is that the action takes place in a block or two, and the rest of the community is moving along just fine.
Can someone from Portland let us know if the “action” is localized or wide spread?
You're still part of the United States, you don't have to, jerkoff.
Their governor is an example of what’s wrong with the state.
She posted an absurd cell video of calm, pleasant streets so no need for the harsh officers to arrive.
Between riots.
“She is the country’s first openly bisexual statewide office holder and first openly bisexual governor.”
Wow. The first.
Too bad we can’t fix that “part of the US” problem.
Most wear Kevlar head to toe.
Has anyone ever seen the end of “Gangs of New York”? That’s how to end a riot.
Are you thinking of Kate Brown? Tina Kotek is openly lesbian, as far as I know.
Protestors or terrorists?
Yuppers!

Nuke It from Space!
I would think “Full Force” would include belt fed weapons.
Thanks.
I may be confused about the two. Need to buy a program to tell the freaks apart lately.
On sight.
On sight.
The later.
Given the findy’s recent experience with “embedding” among J6-ers…
One would think they’d use that experience for intel and take them down smarter rather than giving them the fight that they want.
Because I’m highly dubious of how heavy a hand they will play against the now “terrorists,” let alone how much blondi will fight the “due process” nuts sure to be - ahem - waving the flag in their defense.
