It was much like any other night at the ICE facility, with several dozen protesters standing outside the building. The main difference? Helicopters circled the area.

PORTLAND, Ore. — On Saturday morning, President Donald Trump called Portland “war ravaged,” saying in a social media post that troops are needed to protect the city, particularly at federal facilities, including the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility on the South Waterfront.

In Trump’s social media post Saturday morning, he announced he’s directing the federal government to send in “all necessary troops” and authorizing what he calls “Full Force” in Portland.

But Saturday night, a KGW crew that was live at the ICE facility described the scene, and it sounded much like it’s been for months: small-scale nightly and mostly peaceful protests, with occasional vandalism, violence and arrests. On Saturday night, maybe 100 people showed up, a slightly higher number than normal. Things appeared to be peaceful, with members of the group mostly standing around while music played in the background. A couple kicked a soccer ball around in the street.

It should be noted that neighbors are done with it. Many have talked to KGW over the past few months about the nightly noise, the tear gas, the pepper balls. One nearby school even relocated because the use of chemicals and munitions went onto the school grounds, making the area unsafe. They’re fed up.

There was one new development Saturday night. KGW received multiple calls from neighbors in that area about what appeared to be multiple helicopters flying overhead, something that was confirmed by KGW’s crew at the scene. KGW has been unable to confirm with officials who’s operating them, or where they came from.

There have been no confirmed reports of any additional military personnel in the city. Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek said she has not authorized the National Guard to deploy to the city, and neither the White House nor the Pentagon have given any kind of timeline around when, or if, the troops could arrive.

Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said the Department of Defense would provide information and updates when available. “We stand ready to mobilize U.S. military personnel in support of DHS operations in Portland at the President’s direction,” Parnell said.

A spokesperson for the Oregon National Guard, Lt. Col. Stephen Bomar, said via email that “no official requests have been received at this time” for Guard support. “Any requests would need to be coordinated through the Governor’s office,” he added.

Kotek said Saturday afternoon that Trump is abusing his authority by ordering troops into a city that she said is doing “just fine” on its own. She was joined by other government, police and business leaders who all said soldiers are not needed and Trump is presenting a patently false picture of the city.

The governor and other leaders urged the public to stay calm, saying any kind of property damage or violence will not be tolerated. “Let’s not take the bait,” she said. “Let’s not respond to what the president is trying to do.”
