🚨 BREAKING: Trump Deploys Troops to Portland-Authorizes ‘FULL FORCE’🚨This morning, President Donald J. Trump announced that, at the request of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, he is directing Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to mobilize troops to Portland.Trump says the move is to protect what he calls “war-ravaged Portland” and to defend ICE facilities reportedly under siege by Antifa and other “domestic terrorists.” He further stated that he is authorizing the use of “Full Force, if necessary.”This order comes as tensions escalate in Portland and across the country, raising serious questions about the federal government’s role in domestic security, the use of military force on U.S. soil, and how far Trump is willing to go to crack down on unrest.👉 Do you think deploying troops is the right move, or is this an overreach of presidential power?#Portland #Trump #BreakingNews #Antifa #Military #ICE #HomelandSecurity #SpaceCoastRocket ...
