The Mayor of Portland and the Governor of Oregon are both asking federal troops to leave.
This is clearly a coordinated strategy from the White House. It is irresponsible and it is escalating an already tense situation. Remove your heightened troop presence now.

It's too bad for them that other US citizens are expecting their law enforcement to do something about the violence and destruction, and all these goons can talk about is "defunding police" - Portland leadership are Marxists just like BLM, what an embarrassment.

100% legal for POTUS to send in federal officers to apprehend terrorists & felons. No military, no posse comitatas issues. The feds are trying to ensure the safety of the citizens when local elected officials will not. Constitutional & emergency powers = TOTALLY legal. #DoYourJob

Why doesn't the Governor of Oregon activate the Oregon Army National Guard to escort those federal troops to the border?
