The Feds are at war with the people. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/us/politics/federal-agents-shooting-portland.html Federal agents shot two people in Portland, Ore., Thursday, prompting local leaders to demand an end to an immigration crackdown there, while also urging calm in a community known for political dissent. The conditions of the two people were not immediately clear. U.S. Border Patrol agents conducting a “targeted vehicle stop” opened fire after a driver tried to run over agents, a Homeland Security Department spokeswoman said in a statement. The spokeswoman, Tricia McLaughlin, described the agents’ target as an undocumented immigrant and member of Tren de Aragua, a gang with roots in a Venezuelan prison that has been a frequent target of President Trump. The shooting appears to have taken place near Adventist Health Portland, a hospital and collection of health clinics in southeast Portland, about eight miles from the city center. The driver drove off after the agents fired on the vehicle, local officials said, and the two shooting victims were found by the police a short drive away, with gunshot wounds.
Honestly, as a rule going forward I'm not going to believe "driver tried to run over agents" any longer without positive video corroberation. ICE chicken little's have provided positive proof as to their lack of ability to honestly recount events.
DoJ training: Don't shot at cars. DHS training: Either they leave the US on a plane or in a coffin. We do not care. You have quotas. Now fill them.
At this point, I don't believe anything coming from the government regarding the Border Patrol, Customs, or ICE, to be honest. I won't believe that these were gang members until I see proof. The victims drove away and then called local police to come and assist them. That does not seem like gang behavior to me. It's sad when you believe your government is lying to you constantly to push agenda through. I know that's been going on for decades, but at least it's been (thinly) veiled.
