Portland's police union president has expressed openness to federal assistance as the city struggles with rising crime and ongoing violent activity from the far-left group Antifa. Following President Donald Trump's renewed push to deploy the National Guard to protect Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities in Portland, law enforcement leaders say they are stretched thin and need more resources to restore order.
