Protests after Trump orders deployment of troops to Portland, ICE facilities
Several dozen people gathered to protest US President Donald Trump's decision to deploy military forces to the Democratic-run city of Portland.
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Sunday ordered 200 Oregon National Guard troops to be deployed under federal authority while the state filed a lawsuit challenging Trump.
The Republican president on Saturday (September 27) announced plans to send troops into Portland, saying they would be used to protect federal immigration facilities against "domestic terrorists" and that he was authorizing them to use "full force, if necessary."
Trump's deployments of military forces into other municipalities led by Democrats, including Los Angeles and Washington, DC, have spurred legal challenges and protests.
Oregon's suit was filed against Trump, Hegseth and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in federal court in Portland on Sunday by Democratic Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield. The suit accused Trump of exceeding his powers.
