WASHINGTON, Oct 3 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump has directed his team to review federal aid to Portland, Oregon, that can be cut as his anger with the city's anti-government and anti-fascism protesters mounts, the White House said on Friday ...

They're always as Trump-friendly as they can possibly be in tone, and in the structure of their articles. Same with nearly all journalists and articles lately except some late-night TV, Oliver on HBO, & MSNBC for a few hours each night, on weekdays.

But hey, the freaking AI that writes their bullshit these days can't really understand the real problem, nor express it properly, so this article is basically what we get :

No offense S4P this was not at all directed at the messenger

CNN's Kaitlin Collins spoke to Portland Police Chief Bob Day about the Trump administration's effort to deploy federal law enforcement officers in Portland, Oregon, as part of what it calls a crackdown to address crime and restore order.

The Trump administration activated 200 National Guard troops in Portland on Friday as Oregon officials waited for a court ruling on their request to prevent the deployment.

... U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut, who was appointed by Trump in his first term, opened the hearing by stressing that a Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals panel held earlier this year that judges have the authority to review a president’s decision to federalize the National Guard under an archaic statute.

However, Immergut also took notice of the fact that the appeals panel also said that a court’s review must be “highly deferential” to the president’s decision.

While questioning the DOJ, Immergut noted that Hegseth’s memo did not cite recent events in Portland. It instead cited the executive order Trump signed in June to deploy at least 2,000 Guard troops to Los Angeles in response to protests over aggressive ICE raids throughout the city.

In his June memo, Trump federalized Guard troops using 10 U.S. Code 12406, an archaic statute that allows the president to mobilize the Guard when the country faces foreign invasion or rebellion or when the president is unable to execute laws with regular resources. Trump claimed that ICE-related unrest in LA amounted to a rebellion against the U.S. government ...
