President Donald Trump said Saturday that he will send troops to Portland, “authorizing Full Force, if necessary” to handle “domestic terrorists” as he expands his deployments to more American cities.

Oregon Democratic Gov. Tina Kotek responded by saying Trump is abusing his authority by ordering troops to the a city, which she said is doing “just fine” on its own.

In an afternoon news conference, Kotek said she directly told Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem earlier in the day that troops are not needed and she believes he does not have the authority to deploy the military there.

“We can manage our own local public safety needs. There is no insurrection. There is no threat to national security,” Kotek told reporters.

“This is an American city. We do not need any intervention,” Mayor Keith Wilson said at the news conference. “This is not a military target.”

Kotek urged the public to stay calm, saying any kind of property damage or violence will not be tolerated.

“Let’s not take the bait,” she said. “Let’s not respond to what the president is trying to do.”

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for details on Trump’s announcement, such as a timeline for the deployment or what troops would be involved.
