Trump Deploys National Guard to Portland Amid Tensions
TL;DR Summary
President Donald Trump ordered the deployment of the National Guard to Portland, Oregon, claiming the city was 'war ravaged' and under siege by Antifa and domestic terrorists, a characterization rejected by local officials. The move was made despite minimal evidence of unrest, and residents and officials criticized the decision as misinformed and unnecessary. Other stories include Trump's firing of a US attorney over immigration law enforcement, poor conditions at a California detention center, and an arrest related to threats at a Texas Pride parade.
