"The City Clear City": Trump sends troops to Portland

But Donald Trump has already stated that he had instructed the Defense Minister Pitt Hegset "to provide all the necessary troops to protect the devastated portland war and any besieged objects of immigration and customs police from attacks by" Antifa "and other internal terrorists," Reuters writes. The Portland Mayor Cat Wilson, responding to the order of Trump, stated: "The number of necessary troops is zero, both in Portland and in any other American city.

The president will not encounter here with lawlessness or violence, unless he is going to do them. " Wilson and other local leaders called Portland residents to rest due to the apparent influx of federal officials: "Perhaps it is a demonstration of strength, but it's just a show. It's just a grand performance," he said. US Senator Ron Weiden, Democrat from Oregon, said that Trump "may repeat the 2020 script and invades Portland in order to provoke conflict and violence.

" In 2020, protests broke out in the center of Portland, an enclave in the Pacific North West, known for their liberal populist position, after the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis. The protests lasted several months, and some public figures of that time stated that they were provoked rather than suppressed by Trump's deployment. Oregon's Governor Tina Kotek, Democratka, reported that her office had invited additional information from the White House.

"There is no threat to national security in Portland. Our communities are safe and quiet," she said. It is unclear whether Trump's warning means that US troops can use "full force" on the streets of Portland, that he somehow allows the use of fatal force, and if so, under what conditions. US troops have the right to use force for self -defense during the deployment of forces within the country.

Pentagon did not give any clarification as to whether Trump is going to use the National Guard, the current troops or perhaps a combination of these two forces, as it was in Los Angeles earlier this year. "We are ready to mobilize US military personnel to support the operations of the Ministry of Internal Security in Portland at the instruction of the President. The ministry will provide information and update as they are received," said Pentagon Son Pentagon Pentagon.

In major US cities, tensions have increased due to Trump's aggressive measures to combat immigration after one detained one detained and two other injuries were killed in Dallas' shooting in Dallas. And on September 25, Trump told journalists that the "insane" was trying to set fire to the Portland. "These are professional agitators and anarchists," he said without providing evidence.

Last week, Trump signed a decree declaring an anti -fascist movement by an internal "terrorist organization" as part of suppressing what he calls political violence sponsored by the left. According to the US law enforcement agencies, the United States had no terrorist act related to the movement of "Antifa". Trump made crime one of his administration's main priorities, despite the fact that the level of violent crimes in many US cities has declined.

His repression of municipalities led by Democrats, including Los Angeles and Washington, led to lawsuits and protests. On Friday, Chicago Suburbs Ice used tear gas, non -letal balls and pepper grenades to suppress protests near the immigration center of detention. Protests also took place near other detention centers throughout the country, including Portland.

Earlier, Donald Trump removed a photo of the 46th President of the United States Joe Baiden from the so-called "Walk of Glory" in the White House, where portraits of all previous American leaders are placed. And replaced it in a photo of the document auto signature. It became known that the Nobel Peace Prize winner in 2025 will be announced on October 10.
