Protests against ICE operations in Portland, Oregon, escalated into clashes with federal agents over the weekend, resulting in arrests and viral videos of non-compliant demonstrators being transported via hand trolley. President Donald Trump ordered National Guard troops from California and Texas to safeguard federal facilities, but a federal judge issued restraining orders blocking the deployments after lawsuits from Oregon Governor Tina Kotek and California Governor Gavin Newsom. Similar tensions unfolded in Chicago, where local police declined to assist ICE agents amid surrounding crowds, underscoring national rifts over immigration enforcement and federal overreach.
