US Edition‘It Has to stop:’ Immigrant Advocates React to Border Patrol Shooting in Portland
Two Venezuelan nationals linked to Tren de Aragua were shot by Border Patrol after allegedly weaponizing a vehicle during a targeted stop, sparking protests and investigations.
- U.S. Border Patrol agents fired during a traffic stop in an East Portland hospital parking lot, wounding two people and taking them to local hospitals, police said.
- DHS said agents opened fire after the vehicle allegedly tried to hit an agent, calling the stop targeted; the Portland shooting came one day after a Minneapolis incident involving an immigration agent.
- Portland Police Chief Bob Day said Luis David Nico Moncada and Yorlenys Betzabeth Zambrano-Contreras are stable, in federal custody, and the FBI is investigating as assault on a federal officer.
- Nearly 500 protesters gathered outside the Portland ICE facility with six people arrested, while Portland Mayor Keith Wilson and Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield called for investigations and a halt to operations.
- Local leaders said Portland is not a `training ground` for militarized federal agents, linking the incidents to broader federal deportation efforts and Tren de Aragua's U.S. designation last year.
