Portland Police Chief Bob Day became emotional Friday as he confirmed new information showing that two people shot by a US Customs and Border Protection agent in Portland who allegedly tried to run over the officials with their car have ties to the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. He then apologized to the Latino community for “victim blaming.”
Day confirmed a Department of Homeland Security statement identifying the two individuals, Luis David Nico Moncada and Yorlenys Betzabeth Zambrano-Contreras, as Venezuelan nationals believed to be in the United States illegally with suspected links to the violent Tren de Aragua gang as well as a prostitution ring. Both were shot Thursday after a Border Patrol agent fired in self-defense, federal officials said, when Moncada allegedly attempted to run over the agents.
During the news conference, Day choked up as he confirmed the suspected gang affiliation and explained why he initially hesitated to disclose that information, citing concern about “historic injustice of victim blaming” by law enforcement.
"They do have some nexus to involvement with TDA. We can confirm that," Day said as he began tearing up.
"I want to speak for just a moment, specifically to my Latino community," Day continued. "It saddens me that we even have to qualify these remarks because I understand or at least have attempted to understand your voices, your concern, your fear, your anger.”
Day added that the disclosure “in no way is meant to disparage or to condone or support or agree with any of the actions that occurred.” He said that it is important the department “stay committed to the rule of law, that we stay committed to the facts, that we stay a trustworthy and legitimate police department for all Portlanders.”
Both individuals remain hospitalized in stable condition and are in federal custody, according to Fox News. DHS has rejected early reports that the pair were a married couple, stating that Moncada was identified as a suspected gang associate and that Zambrano-Contreras was allegedly involved in a Tren de Aragua-linked prostitution operation.

Oregon ping
But he’s still cool with them staying here since they vote Democrat
Democrats have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that they could not care less about the rule of law—since they oppose immigration law enforcement.
The lying and hypocrisy is off the charts.
Yea if they were Republicans he would have arrested them long time ago.
He should apologize for insinuating that the entire Latino community is Tren de Aragua. Unless it is.
If you would like more information about what’s happening in Oregon, please FReepmail me. Please send me your name by FReepmail if you want to be on this list.
He wouldn’t hesitate to put a boot on a white boys neck.
Unlike the unfortunate Renee Good in Minnesota, these two Portland gang members are alive.
According to Portland Police Chief Bob Day and DHS statements:
Both survived the shooting
Both underwent surgery
Both are hospitalized in stable condition
Both remain in federal custody
Said he considered concealing the information.
It appears this wonderful couple had shot somebody in Oregon.
Nothing like having a complete left-wing, beta male as your chief of police. I’m not sure which is worse having chief Shaniqua out in Philadelphia (DEI of the year award), who doesn’t understand the supremacy clause or this whiny idiot here.
Portland Police Chief Bob Day...can only EXIST and make a LIVING in an environment such as this!
We need to take these FISH out of their FISH BOWLS and let them flop around on MAGA Dry Land for a while. *SMIRK*
“Nothing like having a complete left-wing, beta male as your chief of police. I’m not sure which is worse having chief Shaniqua out in Philadelphia (DEI of the year award), who doesn’t understand the supremacy clause or this whiny idiot here.”
My sentiments exactly.
Are you crying?
There’s no crying in police work!
Do you have a link for that information? Thanks in advance.
Two shot by border agent in Portland have Tren de Aragua ties, DHS and police say https://share.google/VsicUnXL5K8OX4SVY
.
They said they were an innocent couple. He was a pimp and she was a whore and he was wanted for attempted murder.
If you want an example of why Portland, and the state of Oregon is the way it is. This is exhibit a. Absolutely pathetic.
He looks like he may have turned a few tricks himself.
