Just now
Trump announced
On September 28, US President Trump announced that he had ordered the Secretary of Defense to send troops to Portland and authorized the use of full force when necessary, claiming that it was to protect the city, which has been "affected by conflicts," and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities from "domestic terrorists."
This is the fourth city where Trump has sent troops, following Los Angeles, Washington D.C., and Memphis. This time it's Portland, but the mayor doesn't accept this. He said he hasn't seen any violence, except that the president is trying to find trouble. The governor also spoke up, saying that the local area is peaceful and there are no security issues. Now, the federal government and the local government have clashed.
The roots of Portland go back a long way. After Floyd's incident, protests have never stopped. In July, when federal agents arrived, tear gas and rubber bullets were used, and even firefighters were arrested, making the situation more chaotic and adding fuel to the fire.
Trump calls the anti-fascist movement "terrorists" and sending troops has become routine. He says it's for stability, but this law enforcement seems like political manipulation. The atmosphere across the country has changed. Everyone knows whether it's really for protecting the city or not.
What do you think, dear readers?
