AS IF SCRIPTED,ICE AGENTS,IN PORTLAND, SHOOT "TWO VENEZUELAN GANG MEMBERS" TRYING TO RUN THEM OVER THURSDAY
PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — A U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent shot and wounded two people in Portland on Thursday afternoon, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which said the shooting was in self-defense when the driver of a vehicle that the agents had pulled over tried to run them over.
In a post on X, DHS said the passenger in the vehicle was from Venezuela and illegally in the United States and affiliated with the transnational Tren de Aragua prostitution ring. DHS said the person had also been involved in a shooting in Portland.
"When agents identified themselves to the vehicle occupants, the driver weaponized his vehicle and attempted to run over the law enforcement agents. Fearing for his life and safety, an agent fired a defensive shot. The driver drove off with the passenger, fleeing the scene," DHS said.
The shooting happened outside the Adventist Health clinic near Southeast Main Street at around 2:20 p.m. The two wounded people drove more than 2.5 miles to Northeast 146th Avenue and East Burnside, where they were found and taken to the hospital.
Portland police said their officers were called to the area of the clinic where said they confirmed federal agents were involved in a shooting. They said they were not involved in the shooting.
The two people who were wounded were taken to the hospital.
Residents in the area told KATU that a red Toyota truck was driven to an apartment complex. A man at the scene said he saw the wounded man stopped in the truck, who then got out and was bleeding.
FBI agents were seen collecting evidence from the scene. At about 6:35 p.m., a tow truck towed the truck away and all law enforcement left the area.
In a statement shortly after the shooting was confirmed, Mayor Keith Wilson called on the Trump administration to end Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in the city until an independent investigation into the shooting could be completed. He restated the demand in a news conference flanked by other city leaders, city councilors, Multnomah County commissioners, the county sheriff, the city police chief, state lawmakers, faith leaders and the governor of the state.
“When the [Trump] administration talks about using full force, we are seeing what it means on our streets. The consequences are not abstract. They are felt in hospital rooms and living rooms, in the quiet moments when families try to make sense of what happened, what is happening," Wilson said. "We know what the federal government said happened here. There was a time when we could take them at their word. That time has long passed."

Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek echoed the sentiment that the trust between the federal government and local leaders had been broken. She also called for an independent investigation.
