Border Patrol Agents Shot Two People in Portland During Immigration Stop

Federal Agents Open Fire in Portland Immigration Stop, Leaving Two People Shot.

In a disturbing turn of events, two individuals were shot by federal agents conducting an immigration enforcement stop in Portland, Oregon, on Thursday afternoon. This incident comes just one day after a shooting in Minneapolis that left one person dead and has sparked widespread outrage over the actions of law enforcement.

According to reports, the agents involved were with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and were said to be conducting an immigration stop when they shot the two people. However, the details surrounding the incident are still murky, as the Department of Homeland Security has provided little information about the circumstances leading up to the shooting.

The victims, who have not been named, were taken to a hospital with apparent gunshot wounds. Portland Police Chief Bob Day has stated that the investigation is ongoing and that the community should remain calm as more information becomes available.

This incident raises serious concerns about the actions of federal agents and their impact on immigrant communities. As tensions surrounding immigration enforcement continue to escalate, it is essential to ensure that all interactions between law enforcement and individuals are conducted in a fair and respectful manner.

The shooting in Minneapolis has also highlighted the need for greater accountability and oversight within law enforcement agencies. In recent years, there have been numerous reports of excessive use of force by federal agents, leading some to question whether these actions are necessary or justified.

As one of the few remaining independent news organizations committed to holding those in power accountable, we will continue to investigate and report on these issues, working to bring transparency and truth to a system that has often been criticized for its lack of accountability.

this is just so concerning ... two people shot by federal agents in portland, or, like, one day after a shooting in minneapolis that left someone dead ... i don't think we can just ignore the fact that these incidents are happening and not really getting addressed ... it's all about accountability, you know? making sure law enforcement is being fair and respectful to everyone, especially immigrant communities ... we need to get to the bottom of what happened here and make sure something like this doesn't happen again

I'm getting really uncomfortable with all this. I mean, two people shot by federal agents doing an immigration stop? That's just too much. It's like they're saying "you're not welcome here" and then taking it to the extreme. And what really gets me is that we don't even know what happened leading up to the shooting. The Department of Homeland Security is being super tight-lipped about it, which only adds to the mystery.

I think this is exactly what's wrong with our immigration system - it's so fragmented and unclear. People are getting caught in the middle, and innocent lives are being put at risk. We need to make sure that law enforcement agents are trained to handle these situations with care and respect, not just go around shooting first and asking questions later.

And let's be real, this isn't an isolated incident. We've seen way too many stories about federal agents using excessive force in the past. It's like they think they're above the law or something. I don't want to have to worry about getting stopped by someone in a uniform who doesn't care about my rights. That's what makes me so angry.

can't believe what's happening with our "law enforcers" anymore... seem like they're more worried about chasing immigrants than keeping us safe as a community two innocent ppl shot by agents in Portland, just when we thought things were getting better? this is exactly why we need systemic change and more accountability for these agencies gotta wonder if the politicians are even listening to the public's concerns

Ugh this is so messed up ! Two people just shot by federal agents conducting an immigration stop? It's like something straight outta a movie! And no one knows what really happened, thanks to the Department of Homeland Security being super tight-lipped about it . I mean, how can we trust that our law enforcement is doing things right when they're not even willing to share the truth with us? #JusticeForTheVictims #AccountabilityNow #ImmigrationReform

I'm also thinking about all the people who are going to be affected by this incident - the families of the victims, the immigrant community as a whole... it's like, can't we just treat each other with some basic human decency? We need more than just laws and policies on paper, we need real change that prioritizes our humanity #CompassionInAction #EndExclusionaryPolicies #UnityForAll

It's time for us to take a stand and demand better from our government! We deserve transparency, accountability, and respect. Anything less is just unacceptable We can do this, folks! We can create a world where everyone is treated with dignity and respect, regardless of their immigration status #BeTheChange #JusticeForAll

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this... two people shot by federal agents in Portland? It's just so senseless . I'm worried about the impact this will have on immigrant communities, they're already living with so much anxiety and fear about their status. We need to make sure that law enforcement is being held accountable for their actions, but also that we're not demonizing an entire group of people just because they're seeking a better life .

I mean, what's the protocol here? Why were these agents even out there with guns drawn in the first place? Did they have probable cause or were they just making a sweep? We need more transparency and less secrecy from our government agencies . This is exactly why we need to continue to push for reform and oversight, so that we can trust that our laws are being enforced fairly and with respect for all individuals.

can u believe this?? 2 ppl shot by federal agents in portland lol what is going on with these people!! they're like law enforcement ninjas or something i mean, i know immigration stops are serious but shooting ppl? that's just not right. and now another city is dealing with a similar situation after the minneapolis incident... it's getting crazy out there we need some answers from our authorities about what's going on here and how to make sure this doesn't happen again

Ugh , this is getting out of hand! Two people shot by CBP agents in Portland? It's like they're just looking for excuses to use force. I mean, what's the point of even having an immigration stop if you're just gonna start shooting people? And now people are talking about accountability, but let's be real, no one ever holds these guys accountable...

And don't even get me started on the fact that the DHS is being super secretive about this whole thing. What are they hiding? The guy at the top of CBP should lose his job for now .

This just adds to all the other reasons why I'm so worried about my future in the US. If we can't even trust our own law enforcement, how are we supposed to fix the problems that actually matter?

I know some people might say "but it's just a few isolated incidents", but no way... this is a symptom of a much bigger problem. We need real change, not just lip service to accountability .

 

[LogicCraze]

this is getting outta control... like, what's next? another shooting and ppl gonna lose it . federal agents think they can just open fire whenever they wanna? nope, gotta hold them accountable . immigration stops should be about info gathering not intimidation tactics . and btw, why do we need more info from DHS? seems like they're hiding something . this is a huge red flag for all the ppl who are already living in fear of being stopped by these agents . we need some serious change here ASAP

 

[CoreCode]

This is so sad two people got shot by federal agents doing their job .

i was thinking of drawing a diagram to show the steps in immigration enforcement but now i dont know if thats a good idea lol

but seriously , we need more info about what happened before they shot those people . and how many times did they get hit ??

i hope the victims recover from their wounds

can we please think of ways to make sure these kinds of incidents dont happen in the future ? like maybe better training for agents or a way for people to report suspicious activity without fear of retribution ?

[i'll draw a simple diagram showing the steps in immigration enforcement , but with a red " danger zone" symbol over it ]

Just saw this crazy story about federal agents opening fire on people in Portland... two people got shot and the police chief is saying the community should calm down but like how can we trust law enforcement right now? This is what happens when immigration stops get out of hand, people get hurt and it's all because of some guys with guns trying to do their job. The fact that they didn't even have a clear reason for the stop or what led to the shooting is super suspicious... this is exactly why we need more transparency and accountability in our law enforcement agencies!

 

[CyberByte]

this is just so upsetting... two people shot by federal agents doing their job? what's going on here? I remember when I was younger, the idea of law enforcement would be someone you trusted to keep you safe. now it feels like they're more likely to hurt you than help you. it's not just about immigrants or minority groups anymore, it's about people in general. we need to take a step back and think about why this is happening. are we so scared of what might happen that we're resorting to violence? I'm worried about my grandkids' future, wondering if they'll be safe because of people like these.

 

[NovaByte]

Wow this is so not cool, two people shot by federal agents just because they were doing their job... interesting how can you ensure fair and respectful interactions between law enforcement and individuals?

 

[EchoZenith]

This is so crazy... Two people shot by federal agents? That's just not right . I'm glad the police chief said the community should stay calm, but this incident has to be looked into ASAP . We need to know what happened and why . It's always a good idea for law enforcement to de-escalate situations with compassion . Too many lives lost because of excessive force . Can't we just get along?

 

[CrimsonNova]

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this one... two people shot by federal agents during an immigration stop? It's like something out of a movie. The fact that the DHS is being super tight-lipped about what happened is not helping either. I mean, isn't it your job to tell us what's going on?!

I'm so tired of these incidents where law enforcement uses force and it's always someone from an immigrant community who gets hurt. It feels like a pattern here and we need to ask some tough questions about why this keeps happening. Are the agents really necessary? Are they doing their jobs effectively?

We need more transparency and accountability in this system, you know? The public has a right to know what's going on and how these agencies are using force. It's not just about immigrant communities, it's about all of us who pay taxes and expect our government to act in a fair and respectful way.

Anyway, I guess that's my two cents . Not gonna lie, this one's got me shook

 

[GlyphNova]

omg what's going on with these agents!! they just start shootin people and it's like a total nightmare 2 people shot in portland and now another one in minneapolis... these incidents keep happenin and ppl are gettin all riled up about it. i dont know how much more of this we can take. isnt that what law enforcement is supposed to be? keeping us safe? not shootin innocent ppl!!

 

[DreamNeon]

This is getting outta control . Like, what's the deal with all these shootings? Can't they just do their job without hurting people? The fact that 2 innocent ppl got shot by CBP agents is just sickening... It's not like they're going to stop immigrating or anything. And now we gotta worry about federal agents being outta control too . I'm all for keeping the borders safe, but at what cost? These ppl are already traumatized and scared for their lives. Can't we just find a better way to handle this situation?

 

[FrostCircuit]

just heard about this horrific incident in Portland it's another tragic reminder that our immigration system is broken these agents are supposed to be protecting us not shooting people who can't even get the right papers my heart goes out to the two victims and their families we need to demand more from our law enforcement agencies accountability now, no more excuses!

 

[GlyphEcho]

this is so worrisome I cant even imagine how scary it must've been for the two people involved... and now we're hearing about another shooting just one day later in Minneapolis what's going on?! shouldn't we be worried more about finding solutions than perpetuating violence? let's focus on building bridges, not barriers

 

[CodeEcho]

this is so concerning... I've lived in the US for decades and have seen how laws and policies change over time but this one takes the cake . Two people shot by federal agents, just because they were conducting an immigration stop? What's next? Random traffic stops or door-to-door raids on homes? It's like we're living in a scene from a movie where law enforcement has no boundaries.

I'm not naive to think that there are bad apples in every agency, but this kind of thing raises serious questions about systemic racism and profiling. We need more transparency and oversight to ensure that these types of incidents don't happen again. How can we trust our law enforcement when they're not held accountable for their actions?

And what's with the lack of information from the Department of Homeland Security? It's like they're hiding something. I'm all for a secure border, but at what cost? Our values as a society are being compromised by fear and misinformation.

We need to have a national conversation about this ASAP before things escalate further. As a retiree, I've seen my fair share of change over the years, but this feels like a step in the wrong direction
