Over the weekend, protesters gathered in the buff to speak out against the Trump administration’s attempts to mobilize the National Guard.

Last week, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem visited Portland’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility and met with high-profile leaders, including the city’s Mayor Keith Wilson.

Wilson urged the defense secretary to stop the use of chemical munitions and force against protesters. At the same time, his one-year promise to end unsheltered homelessness in the city is fast approaching.

Wilson joins us to share more about his response to the continued protests, the ongoing threat from the National Guard, and where things stand now with the city and homelessness.

“Think Out Loud®” broadcasts live at noon every day and rebroadcasts at 8 p.m.
