PORTLAND, OR – A riot has been declared in Portland, Oregon and the state’s Army National Guard has been deployed to the city to assist local police.
“While we wait for election results, Oregonians have the right to free expression and peaceful assembly. But political violence, intimidation and property destruction will not be tolerated. Let’s work together to keep our fellow Oregonians safe,” Governor Kate Brown said.
