President Donald Trump ordered military troops to be deployed to Portland, Oregon, and said he is authorizing the use of “full force” if necessary.
“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 Saturday in a post on Truth Social. “I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary.”
The Trump administration has deployed National Guard troops to Los Angeles, Washington, DC, and Memphis. The post wasn’t specific about whether he was referring to Guard troops or regular military.
Neither the White House nor the Pentagon immediately responded to requests for comment.
Ongoing protests outside Portland’s federal ICE detention facility have escalated tensions between local officials, federal authorities, and demonstrators. Oregon lawmakers have criticized what they describe as mistreatment of detainees, while the city has challenged the facility with a land-use violation. DHS has deployed federal agents to Portland in response.
The protests, led in part by antifascist activists, have at times turned violent. Federal officials have condemned the actions, while Antifa-linked groups continue to call for more demonstrations, including solidarity rallies in nearby cities.
On Monday, the Trump administration designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization, although the order holds no force of law because terrorist designations apply only to foreign-based actors and Antifa is an ideology whose adherents stage protests but under no organization or leader.
Outside of anti-ICE protests, a violent-crime report by the Major Cities Chiefs Association for the first half of 2025 showed a 50% drop in homicides in Oregon’s largest city, according to KATU, the ABC affiliate in Portland. The city has also seen a decline in reported rapes, aggravated assaults and robberies, the report said.
