Oregon leaders say they are prepared to litigate and legislate against President Donald Trump’s potential mobilization of the National Guard in Portland following his comments last week vowing to “clean up” the state’s largest city and “wipe out” protesters. President Donald Trump during a media briefing with reporters on Friday said he would send National Guard troops to another city, while declining to specify which. The segment included footage from 2020, when federal agents who had stormed the city under Trump’s orders during the 2020 racial justice protests pepper-sprayed an individual. Tina Kotek and various state attorneys general with the promise of taking Trump to court “when he oversteps his authority.” His office has been preparing for the scenario of National Guard deployment since Trump took office in January, he said. In a statement, Portland Mayor Keith Wilson said that the city does not need federal intervention, nor did he ask for it.
