Tina Kotek responded by saying Trump is abusing his authority by ordering troops into a city that she said is doing “just fine” on its own. Trump, however, previously deployed guard soldiers and active duty Marines in Los Angeles even though California Gov. Oregon's congressional delegation, with the exception of GOP Rep. Cliff Bentz, demanded that the Trump administration keep federal agents and troops out of Portland. Recent demonstrations have been far more muted and focused on the area around the ICE building. “We’re going to get out there and we’re going to do a pretty big number on those people in Portland,” Trump said Thursday in the Oval Office.
