“Every accident is preventable, and you are running out of time to prevent one in Portland.”
Portland Mayor Keith Wilson. In a Newsweek opinion piece, Wilson argued that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Portland has become a “workplace disaster waiting to happen,” citing unsafe conditions he observed during an October visit with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Donald Trump adviser Corey Lewandowski. A federal appeals court ruled on Monday that the Trump administration could legally deploy National Guard troops to the city, after a previous judge had blocked the move. In a statement Monday, Wilson said the city would “use every lawful tool to prevent this overreach.” (Newsweek)
