Democratic Sens. Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden both accused President Donald Trump of trying to stir up violence.

Trump said he's sending troops to Portland to protect immigration facilities. Oregon officials call the action illegal and unwarranted.

He deployed the National Guard to Los Angeles over the summer and as part of his law enforcement takeover in Washington, D.C.

Oregon calls the move "arbitrary", and says it "threatens to undermine public safety by inciting a public outcry".

Trump said the decision was necessary to protect U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities.
