The article discusses the response of Oregon officials,including Governor Tina Kotek and Portland Mayor Keith wilson,to President Donald Trump’s directive to deploy federal troops to Portland. Trump ordered War Secretary Pete Hegseth to send “all necessary troops” to the city in response to recent protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and concerns about threats to ICE facilities. However, both Kotek and Wilson strongly opposed the deployment, asserting that Portland does not face an insurrection or national security threat and therefore does not require military intervention<\/a>. Mayor Wilson notably stated that the number of necessary troops in Portland is “zero.” They emphasized the city’s needs for community care rather than federal occupation, with plans to jointly oppose the troop deployment alongside other regional leaders. The officials also criticized the federal action as a misuse of taxpayer resources and highlighted that Portland’s violent crime rate is relatively low compared to other U.S. cities.
