Donald Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon is “wholly pretextual” and designed to stir up unrest to justify surging the military and federal law enforcement into the city, according to a federal lawsuit from Oregon officials.
The lawsuit follows the president’s Truth Social directive calling on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to “provide all necessary Troops” to the “War ravaged” city while claiming Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities are “under siege from attack by Antifa and other domestic terrorists.”
