Deploying Troops to American Cities: An Assault on the Constitution
President Donald Trump's efforts to use federal troops on U.S. soil is an affront to our nation's Constitution and legal system.
The recent deployment of the National Guard to Portland, Oregon, is a concerning development, with the president stating that the goal is to restore law and order as "conditions continue to deteriorate into lawless mayhem."

However, this move is seen as a pretext to exert federal control over cities, rather than a genuine response to the protests against ICE's abusive raids and detentions.
- Protests have been largely peaceful, with occasional unruly incidents that are well within the ability of local police to control.
- Portland is considered one of the safest big cities in the nation, making the deployment of federal troops unnecessary.
The president's actions are an overreach of federal power and an attack on the liberties of American citizens.
Author's summary: Trump's deployment of troops is an assault on the Constitution.
