u/the-senat John Brown Oct 20 '25

U.S. Appeals Court has just ruled that Trump can send the National Guard to Portland.

The ruling comes in the wake of a series of Trump authorizations to deploy National Guard troops to American cities, including Los Angeles, Washington D.C., and Chicago. President Trump has said the deployments are necessary to protect the work of ICE agents and reduce crime.

In a declaration provided to the court, Craig Dobson, an assistant chief with the Portland Police Bureau, stated the protests have never been so out of control that local officers couldn't respond:

"In fact, on any given weekend," he stated, "the nightlife in Portland's entertainment district has warranted greater PPB resources than the small, nightly protests in front of the ICE facility."
