The U.S. military announced Sunday that roughly 200 federalized members of the California National Guard will be redeployed from Los Angeles to Portland, Oregon. The move aligns with President Donald Trump’s directive to bolster federal law enforcement efforts in response to ongoing protests and unrest.
According to Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell, the troops will assist U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other federal personnel in enforcing federal law and safeguarding government property in Portland. “At the direction of the President, approximately 200 federalized members of the California National Guard are being reassigned from duty in the greater Los Angeles area to Portland, Oregon, to support U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other federal personnel performing official duties,” Parnell said in a statement.
The deployment comes just hours after a federal judge temporarily blocked Trump’s earlier plan to send 200 Oregon National Guard troops to Portland. The court cited insufficient evidence to justify the necessity of such a deployment, given recent protest conditions in the city.
The reassignment of troops from California represents a strategic shift in the administration’s approach to maintaining order and protecting federal assets in Portland, a city that has been at the center of nationwide demonstrations. Critics argue that the move risks escalating tensions, while supporters claim it is essential to uphold law and order amid civil unrest.
This latest decision underscores the ongoing debate over the federal government’s role in managing local protests and balancing public safety with the right to peaceful demonstration.
