Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., who skipped President Donald Trump’s State of the Union to attend Democrat counter-programming, hailed a group of frog-clad protesters as “patriots,” crediting them for defeating Trump’s anti-crime efforts in Portland, Oregon.<\/a><\/p>\n

“Boy, the frogs are rocking this town,” Wyden said on Tuesday night. “I’m with the frogs, and I’m with all of you. Because political change starts at the grassroots.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“For weeks, social media was flooded with these wonderful patriots. Videos of unicyclers, naked bike riders, the guy in the chicken suit, and a whole lot of frogs,” he continued.<\/p>\n

“When Donald Trump<\/a> sent his agents to the streets of Portland, we took on authoritarianism, and we won!” Wyden said.<\/p>\n

The frogs, part of an organization called the Portland Frog Brigade, use “inflatable animal costumes to practice the proven art of <\/strong>peaceful, creative dissent, exercising our right to free expression in defense of the U.S. Constitution and the rule of law,” according to <\/a>their website.<\/p>\n

In September, as part of a crackdown on crime, the Trump administration announced it would send National Guard troops<\/a> to Portland among other urban centers across the country. In Portland, the order sparked social unrest and protests, including backlash from local officials.<\/p>\n

“Portland is an American city, not a military target,” Portland Mayor Keith Wilson said in a post<\/a> on social media.<\/p>\n

“President Trump has directed all necessary troops to Portland, Oregon. The number of necessary troops is zero.”<\/p>\n

Almost immediately, the state launched a legal challenge to the deployment<\/a> in the case of Oregon v. Trump, arguing that the administration lacked the legal authority to use federal troops to combat local crime.<\/p>\n

As that legal battle raged inside the courtroom, the city\u2019s person-based crime \u2014 such as homicides, kidnappings, sexual offenses, and vehicular manslaughter \u2014 has fallen marginally every consecutive month, according to data<\/a> from Portland\u2019s Police Bureau.<\/p>\n

From Oct. 2025 to Jan. 2026, person-related crimes are down 18%. Total crime, including property and social crimes like drug offenses, is down 8%.<\/p>\n

But in December, Trump began winding down his deployment<\/a> to Portland as its legal battle began to run into a series of losses.<\/p>\n

As recently as last Tuesday, the Trump administration ended its efforts to overturn a Ninth Circuit order halting<\/a> Trump\u2019s deployment of the guard to Portland.<\/p>\n

“Oregon National Guard members are currently in transit to Fort Bliss, Texas, where they will demobilize, and the demobilization process will take approximately 7 to 14 days to complete,” the court ruled on Jan. 8, 2026.<\/p>\n

Wyden celebrated the decision.<\/p>\n

The White House<\/a> did not respond to a request for comment on Wyden\u2019s framing of the administration\u2019s drawdown of the National Guard from Portland.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
