Trump team spouts more lies about Portland invasion



Department of Homeland Security’s Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs
Tricia McLaughlin appeared on Fox News on Monday to defend the Trump
administration’s invasion of Portland, Oregon, repeating the GOP's false
narrative about the city’s largely peaceful protests.

“Why President Trump called the National Guard into Portland is because our
officers were facing mass assault and mass attacks,” McLaughlin said, offering
zero evidence. “And because of the policies of these sanctuary politicians,
local law enforcement is hamstrung.”

The Trump administration has reportedly escalated its efforts to expand its
push toward creating an American police state, ordering tens of thousands of
National Guard troops to prepare for deployment in U.S. cities.

According to McLaughlin, sanctuary laws prevent local agencies from supporting
federal agents whom she claimed were being overrun by marauding protesters. “So
when our federal officers are being attacked, they have to stand down.
President Trump knows we need to protect our law enforcement, and that's why he
called in the National Guard.”

City and state officials in Portland have condemned the invasion as unlawful
overreach. On Sunday, a federal judge extended an order blocking President
Donald Trump from deploying the National Guard into the city.
