Trump orders troops to protect "war-torn" Portland
Sputnik, Washington - U.S. President Trump said on the 27th that he had ordered Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to deploy troops to protect "war-torn" American city Portland and ICE immigration police facilities from the influence of the "Antifa" movement, which he previously identified as terrorists.
Trump posted on the Truth Social website, saying, "I have directed the Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to provide all necessary troops to protect the war-torn Portland and all our besieged ICE facilities from attacks by the Antifa movement and other domestic terrorists. I will also allow the use of all force when necessary."
Previously, Trump signed an executive order designating the "Antifa" movement as a terrorist organization. It is believed that Portland is home to a large number of "Antifa" supporters, leftists, and far-leftists.
The "Antifa" movement does not exist as a legal structure; it is understood to be supporters of anarchist views. FBI Director Patel had previously spoken about counterterrorism investigations against "nihilists."
