Federal immigration officers shoot and wound 2 people in Portland, Oregon, authorities say
Federal immigration officers have shot and wounded two people in a vehicle outside a hospital in Portland, Oregon. Thursday’s shooting comes a day after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot and killed a driver in Minnesota. The Department of Homeland Security described the vehicle’s passenger as “a Venezuelan illegal alien affiliated with the transnational Tren de Aragua prostitution ring” who had been involved in a recent shooting in Portland. The statement said that when agents identified themselves to the vehicle occupants, the driver tried to run them over and an agent shot. There was no immediate independent corroboration of those events. The FBI’s Portland office says it is investigating.
