Hundreds of people gathered outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) building in Portland on Sunday to protest the Trump administration’s decision to deploy National Guard troops to the city.
President Donald Trump said Saturday he is sending troops to Portland to handle “domestic terrorists,” claiming that ICE facilities in the city are “under siege from attack by Antifa.”
“It would be an understatement to say that I am so disappointed at the irresponsibility of our federal government,” Portland Mayor Keith Wilson said in response to Trump’s decision to deploy federal troops.
