Today’s court decision — from a federal judge appointed by President Trump himself — affirms what we already knew: Deploying the military to Portland is not needed, because there is no foreign invasion or insurrection happening on our streets.
The Multnomah County Board of Commissioners stands united against this administration's authoritarian behavior. We will continue to provide services, hope and opportunity to so many of the people this administration has targeted. We will not be intimidated by bullying tactics, and we will lead with values that recognize our community’s diversity is our greatest strength.
Chair Jessica Vega Pederson
District 1 Commissioner Meghan Moyer
District 2 Commissioner Shannon Singleton
District 3 Commissioner Julia Brim-Edwards
