President Trump sends troops from California to Portland after court denies deployment, focusing on restoring peace amid ongoing protests. California Gov Gavin Newsom plans to sue, calling the move an abuse of power. Trump justifies the deployment to protect federal assets and personnel in Portland during violent riots and attacks on law enforcement, despite criticism from Newsom and local leaders. This action follows similar deployments in cities facing protests over immigration enforcement, with Chicago also receiving National Guard troops.
