Suspected Gang Member ‘Weaponized’ Vehicle Against Border Patrol Agents In Portland, DHS Says

Well, folks, the hits just keep on coming in the ongoing saga of open borders meeting reality. A suspected member of the notorious Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua decided to turn his car into a battering ram against federal immigration officers in Portland, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

One quick-thinking Border Patrol agent drew his weapon and fired a defensive shot at the vehicle after the driver allegedly tried to mow down law enforcement. The suspected gang member and his passenger, also believed to have gang ties, peeled out and vanished into the night like the bad guys in a low-budget action flick.

Here's the official DHS rundown: "At 2:19 PST, US Border Patrol agents were conducting a targeted vehicle stop in Portland, Oregon. The passenger of the vehicle and target is a Venezuelan illegal alien affiliated with the transnational Tren de Aragua prostitution ring and involved in a recent shooting in Portland. The vehicle driver is believed to be a member of the vicious Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. 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," the statement continued.

This came out after whispers started spreading that federal immigration agents had shot and wounded two people in Portland. Whether those rumors line up perfectly with DHS's account is still sorting itself out, but the timing is certainly convenient for anyone looking to stir the pot. 

And let's not forget the fresh wound from the day before: an ICE agent in Minneapolis fatally shot a woman who blocked a road with her vehicle. As officers approached and asked her to step out, she reportedly backed up, then lurched forward. One agent in front fired the fatal shot. The Department of Homeland Security labeled the incident "an act of domestic terrorism."

"This is the direct consequence of constant attacks and demonization of our officers by sanctuary politicians who fuel and encourage rampant assaults on our law enforcement who are facing 1,300% increase in assaults against them and an 8,000% increase in death threats," the agency said.

That Minneapolis shooting lit the fuse for mass demonstrations. 

Gov. 'Tampon Tim' Walz (D-MN) threatened to call in the National Guard while calling for mass protests across the United States against immigration officers. Walz had been in the National Guard, lied about his rank, and when his unit, the 1st Battalion, 125th Field Artillery Regiment was to be deployed to Iraq, he retired, leaving his unit to go to war.

Because nothing says "public safety" like rallying crowds to demonize the people trying to enforce the law against actual violent gang members. Classic. Stay frosty out there, America. The clowns are running the circus, and the imported thugs are providing the entertainment.
