The Dem narrative is falling apart like an Ikea bookcase yet again as the DHS exposes the real identities behind the so-called "married couple" in the CBP shooting incident in Portland.
No surprise, the two injured parties turn out to be suspected affiliates of the notorious Tren de Aragua gang.
Fox News reported on how Portland leaders demand ICE shut down operations in the city following the shooting of two migrants linked to Tren de Aragua, [TdA] is a transnational criminal organization originating from Venezuela.
As fresh protests flare up and Democrats voice their predictable outrage over yet another shooting involving a federal immigration agent in Portland, the Department of Homeland Security is cutting through the noise to lay out the facts on the two individuals involved and their suspected gang ties.
In a Friday post on X, DHS identified the pair as Luis David Nico Moncada and Yorlenys Betzabeth Zambrano-Contreras, describing them as Venezuelan criminal illegal aliens and suspected members of the foreign terrorist organization Tren de Aragua. According to the agency, the two attempted to run over a U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent and others with their vehicle, prompting the agent to open fire in self-defense.
The incident unfolded around 2:19 p.m. local time when Border Patrol agents stopped the vehicle and identified themselves as law enforcement, DHS explained.
"Yesterday, two suspected Tren de Aragua gang associates, let loose on American streets by Joe Biden, weaponized their vehicle against Border Patrol in Portland," DHS wrote, adding that "the agent took immediate action to defend himself and others, shooting them."

Sounds familiar, doesn't it?
Both suspects fled the scene but were later located by Portland Police, who provided first aid before transporting them to a hospital.
DHS noted that Moncada, the driver, entered the U.S. illegally in 2022 and was released into the country under the Biden administration. Beyond his suspected Tren de Aragua ties, he had prior arrests for driving under the influence and unauthorized use of a vehicle, and he faces a final order of removal.
Zambrano-Contreras, the passenger, entered illegally in the El Paso area in 2023 and was likewise released by the Biden administration. DHS stated she "played an active role in a Tren de Aragua prostitution ring" and had been involved in a previous shooting in Portland.
Pushing back hard against media portrayals, DHS labeled reports of the pair as an innocent "married couple" as "REVOLTING LIES," clarifying in another X post that "the two criminal illegal aliens who attacked Border Patrol in Portland are a gang member and his prostitute NOT an innocent ‘married couple.’"
Democrats, predictably mindless and reactionary, rushed to condemn federal law enforcement almost immediately after Thursday's shooting.
Portland Mayor Keith Wilson called for ICE to "halt all operations" in the city pending a full independent investigation. But Wilson has no authority to halt federal law enforcement operations and is whistling in the wind.
"We know what the federal government says happened here," Wilson said during a news conference Thursday. "There was a time when we could take them at their word. That time has long passed."
He went further, insisting that ICE agents and DHS leadership "must fully be investigated and held responsible for the violence inflicted on the American people in Minnesota, in Portland, and in all the communities across America."
Oregon Gov, Tina Kotek (D) weighed in, attributing the incident to the "reckless agenda of the Trump administration."
"While the details of the incident remain limited, one thing is very clear: when a president endorses tearing families apart and attempts to govern through fear and hate rather than shared values, you foster an environment of lawlessness and recklessness," she said.
Kotek highlighted concerns from Oregon's attorney general and others about excessive force by federal agents in Portland, arguing that "today's incident only heightens the need for transparency and accountability."
Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) took to X to blame the Trump administration for 'inflaming violence.'

"I'm monitoring the first awful reports of two people shot in Portland by federal law enforcement," Wyden wrote before knowing who these thugs are. "I'll keep you updated, but Trump's deployment of federal agents in my hometown is clearly inflaming violence, and must end."

This latest episode follows the fatal shooting of anti-ICE protester Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis under similar circumstances. The Trump administration maintains that Good, while obstructing immigration enforcement, attempted to run over an ICE agent, who fired in self-defense, leading to her death. And Good's wife, when the shooting occurred shouted that it was her fault.
Both incidents have sparked widespread anti-ICE protests nationwide and drawn sharp rebukes from prominent Democrats, even as DHS continues to highlight the dangerous criminal elements released under previous policies now facing consequences.
