Gov. Tina Kotek joined Portland officials Saturday afternoon to push back against Trump's order to send federal troops to the city.

"There is no need for military troops in our city," she said at the news conference adding that any federal takeover was a "threat to communities across Oregon."

She warned Oregon residents "not to take the bait."

"Let's not respond to what the President is trying to do. We have to raise our voices, absolutely, peacefully, to the things that we believe in. I also want to say that property damage, or violence of any kind, will get us nowhere and will not be tolerated," she said.

Portland Chief of Police Bob Day told reporters that despite the president's claims, he has not seen an uptick in violent unrest.

"We have had literally tens upon thousands of Portlanders walking the streets in our parks, expressing their First Amendment right, their opinion, their dissidence, with what they're seeing happening on a federal or even a local level, and yet we have not had arrests," he said.

"We have not had vandalism, we have not had the challenges that we have faced in years past," he added.

Portland Mayor Keith Wilson called the potential troop deployment a "show of force."

"After a big show everyone goes home and that's what I want to happen here today," he said.

Trump said Saturday that he's directed Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to provide "all necessary troops" to Portland, Oregon, and to any other ICE facility that is facing threats from the antifa movement or from any other domestic terrorists.

Trump said on social media that he's authorizing "Full Force," if necessary.

Antifa is not a group, but rather a political philosophy or movement. The term comes from the longer "anti-fascist" and is used as a catchall for groups that oppose the concept of authoritarianism, neo-Nazism and white supremacy.

Portland Mayor Keith Wilson told reporters Friday night that there has been a sudden influx of federal agents in the city.

"We did not ask for them to come. They are here without precedent or purpose,” he said.

On Thursday, the president signed a presidential memorandum directing an administration-wide effort aimed at cracking down on alleged "domestic terrorism" and "organized political violence."

He has threatened to send National Guard troops to cities to assist with ICE operations and combat crime.

In a post to X early on Saturday, Attorney General Pam Bondi said she was "deploying DOJ agents to ICE facilities -- and wherever ICE comes under siege -- to safeguard federal agents, protect federal property and immediately arrest all individuals engaged in any federal crime."

Bondi's post came as protesters clashed with federal agents outside the Chicago ICE processing center on Friday night.

Bondi cited what she called an "onslaught of violence perpetrated against ICE officers across our country," for the decision.

Bondi added that, "pursuant to President Trump's recent executive action," she would instruct the Joint Terrorism Task Forces to "to disrupt and investigate all entities and individuals engaged in acts of domestic terrorism, including the repeated acts of violence and obstruction against federal agents."

The DOJ, she said, "will seek the most serious available charges against all participants in these criminal mobs, including conspiracy offenses, assault offenses, civil disorder offenses and terrorism offenses."

"While these never-ending attacks are designed to break our will, they only strengthen our resolve to complete the work begun," Bondi wrote. "The rule of law will prevail."

Trump ordered on Friday the declassification and release of all government records related to Amelia Earhart, including her "final trip, and everything else about her."

On social media, Trump lauded Earhart as an aviation pioneer who was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean solo and calling her story "interesting."

Trump raised questions surrounding her 1937 unsolved disappearance in the Pacific Ocean, while she and another navigator were attempting to circumnavigate the globe.

"Her disappearance, almost 90 years ago, has captivated millions. I am ordering my Administration to declassify and release all Government Records related to Amelia Earhart, her final trip, and everything else about her," Trump said.
