All eyes are on Minnesota and the shooting that took place there, but as Twitchy reported on Thursday night, there was another ICE-involved shooting in Portland, Oregon. After the smoke cleared, the Department of Homeland Security put out a statement that a Venezuelan illegal alien and Tren de Aragua prostitution ring member, who was also wanted for a shooting in Portland, was pulled over by U.S. Border Patrol agents in a targeted stop. When agents identified themselves to the vehicle occupants, the driver weaponized his vehicle and attempted to run over the agents. One agent fired in self-defense as the driver drove off with a passenger, fleeing the scene.
Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek held a press conference the following day to say that "we are all shaken and outraged by another terrible and unnecessary violent event instigated by the reckless agenda of the Trump administration."
Maybe it's just us, but we'd say the unnecessary violent event was instigated by the illegal alien who tried to mow down Border Patrol agents with his red pickup. She also says she wants "peace and safety in our communities," which we take to mean leaving Tren de Aragua gang members involved in a shooting on the street and not trying to apprehend them.
Illegal alien gang member in Portland doesn't want to be arrested/deported, tries to run over cops, gets shot in response, Democrat politicians side with the gangster. They do this every time because they are enemies of American civilization.

They do this because they don't want ICE to deport their illegally imported voter base.

Apparently arresting illegal alien Venezuelan gang members who are engaged in sex trafficking is anti-peace and anti-safety. 🤦♂️
There's not one illegal alien they want detained and deported, no matter how long the rap sheet. They just want them left alone, and millions more let in with the next Democrat administration.

She would have preferred the agent to be run down by an illegal alien. That's the other option here.
Shocking. Not really. Maybe time to hold these politicians accountable for aiding and abetting the criminals they allow to roam free in their states.

She acts like Portland was so peaceful and safe before ICE came to town! 😂

Always. Is she saying the unnecessary violent event was instigated by the Border Patrol pulling over a wanted illegal alien?
