The shooting in Portland, Oregon took place after a Tren de Aragua gang member weaponized his car and attempted to run down law enforcement after identifying themselves. Furthermore, the individual is an illegal immigrant from Venezuela who is connected to a criminal prostitution ring as well as a recent shooting in Portland. This is the kind of individual the Democrats are fighting to defend.
While the city's leadership waits for answers, it is undeniable that the Trump administration's bringing in of militarized agents is breeding a culture of lawlessness and recklessness in American cities, shattering the public's trust. All ICE and DHS operations need to immediately halt their operations in Portland until the events of Thursday are fully accounted for.
