Hegseth Sends 200 National Guard Troops Into Portland as Antifa Targets ICE
29th September 2025
On Sunday, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth officially deployed the National Guard to Portland, Oregon, to counter far-left groups targeting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and facilities. The state of Oregon immediately filed a lawsuit seeking to block the deployment. This move comes as dark-money-funded leftist NGOs, far-left groups, and radicalized leftist lone wolves resort to violence this year, with some of this mayhem referred to as “civil terrorism” … and attacks have intensified this month.
Hegseth wrote in a memo, “This memorandum further implements the President’s directive. 200 members of the Oregon National Guard will be called into Federal service immediately as part of the previously authorized call.”
