Washington, D.C., President Donald J. Trump has directed federal agencies to deploy enhanced resources to Portland, Oregon, in response to what the administration describes as violent radical left terrorism threatening public safety and critical infrastructure.
The directive includes support from federal law enforcement and emergency management teams, aimed at restoring order and protecting residents, businesses, and government facilities. The White House emphasized that the move is part of a broader strategy to combat domestic extremism, uphold the rule of law, and ensure the safety of American communities.
President Trump stated that the federal government will not tolerate violence or destruction, and reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to defending cities from organized threats. The announcement follows weeks of unrest and escalating tensions between protest groups and local authorities.
