My office is reaching out to the White House and Homeland Security for more information. We have been provided no information on the reason or purpose of any military mission. There is no national security threat in Portland. Our communities are safe and calm.

Portland OR Hands Off Rally

Oh wow: Portland Oregon is NOT KIDDING
