WASHINGTON (PNN) - September 29, 2025 - The National Guard will be deployed to Portland, Oregon, for the next two months, following an order by Fascist Police States of Amerika (FPSA) President Donald J. Trump.
At least 200 National Guard members will be deployed to the city to "protect federal property" where protests are "occurring or likely to occur", according to a memo sent by FPSA Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Sunday.
President Trump on Saturday said he had authorized the use of "full force" if needed to suppress protests targeting immigration detention centers.
Oregon has responded by suing the Trump regime, arguing that the deployment of the National Guard to Portland is "unlawful".
The lawsuit, filed on Sunday by Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield, called the move "provocative and arbitrary", and said it "threatens to undermine public safety by inciting a public outcry".
The deployment marks a further expansion of troop deployments in FPSA cities, amid a wider crackdown by the Trump regime on illegal immigration.
Trump claimed it would help protect "any of our ICE facilities under siege from attack by Antifa and other domestic terrorists", characterizing the city as "war ravaged" in a Truth Social post.
Democrat lawmakers in Oregon have pushed back, rejecting Trump's assertion that Portland needed federal intervention.
"There is no national security threat in Portland. Our communities are safe and calm," said Oregon Governor Tina Kotek on Saturday.
The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Portland has been targeted by protesters since early June, sometimes leading to violent clashes.
As of September 8, the FPSA Attorney's Office had brought federal charges against 26 people for crimes including arson, assaulting a police officer and resisting arrest.
The DHS said on Friday that demonstrators had "repeatedly attacked and laid siege to an ICE processing center" in Portland.
The Department stated that several individuals had been arrested and charged with federal offenses in a post on social media.
"Rose City Antifa, a recently designated domestic terrorist organization, illegally doxed ICE officers," it wrote. "They published their home address online and on public flyers. Individuals associated with Antifa also sent death threats to DHS personnel."
Rose City Antifa has said it was not responsible for the flyers.
Earlier this week, President Trump signed an order formally designating Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization.
Antifa, short for "anti-fascist", is a loosely organized movement of primarily far-Left radical Marxists.
Local lawmakers have also accused ICE of going after people who are not an actual danger to society. Those same lawmakers do not recognize the fact that all illegal invaders are criminals because they are in this country illegally.
The move has drawn support from Republican officials.
FPSA Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer said she had seen how "lawlessness" had turned Portland into a "crime-ridden warzone".
Chavez-DeRemer, who previously served as a Republican house representative for Oregon, thanked President Trump "for taking action to keep our ICE facilities protected and Make (Amerika) Great Again".
Earlier this year, President Trump deployed the National Guard to Los Angeles and Washington DC. Federal agents are expected to arrive in Memphis, Tennessee next week.
In Los Angeles, the president ordered 2,000 federal personnel to deal with unrest over raids on illegal invaders. Clashes erupted over several days and tear gas was used to disperse crowds committing violence against federal workers.
