President Donald Trump on Saturday said he was directing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to send troops to protect Portland and federal immigration facilities.

“At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists,” Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform.
