YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe Pentagon confirmed plans on Monday to send 200 members of the Oregon National Guard to Portland. In a statement provided to PBS News Hour, spokesman Sean Parnell said the goal is to "deter rampant lawlessness within Portland and to enable federal law enforcement officers to safely conduct their duties."
