At 2:19 PST, US Border Patrol agents were conducting a targeted vehicle stop in Portland, Oregon. The passenger of the vehicle and target is a Venezuelan illegal alien affiliated with the transnational Tren de Aragua prostitution ring and involved in a recent shooting in Portland. The vehicle driver is believed to be a member of the vicious Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. When agents identified themselves to the vehicle occupants, the driver weaponized his vehicle and attempted to run over the law enforcement agents.
Fearing for his life and safety, an agent fired a defensive shot. The driver drove off with the passenger, fleeing the scene.
This situation is evolving and more information is forthcoming. 4:52 PM · Jan 8, 2026

Awaiting the first FReeper to post accusations of “overreaction”. Sadly, not sarcasm.
Under reacting!
Not even a proper double tap!!!
Those working on the front line ain’t being paid enough.
Thank you. I was trying to come up with a good response.
Good strategy by DHS to publish their report ASAP.
It helps stop the leftist media from spinning the story
At all.
“Awaiting the first FReeper to post accusations of “overreaction”.”
Seems like Homeland Security is acting NO DIFFERENT than Hitler’s Goons, shooting at people who only want to come here and rape and pillage Americans, and then cash-out by sending the money to Venezuela. Didn’t Hitler’s people do the same?
Hopefully these Homeland Security people are identified and prosecuted...for trying to prevent such nice and productive people from being able to achieve (their) American Dream.
Sincerely, Rand Paul.
More of this please.
They should have called a social worker/s
Slowly escalating.
“Those working on the front line aren’t being paid enough.”
At this point, field agents should get a combat pay supplement.
If I was dragged a few hundred feet as an ICE agent, I’d quit the ICE.
ICE needs artillery support.
How DARE they interfere with prostitution and shooting!
Cluster bombs and M60s to the rescue.
We are in the early stages of Civil war 2.
Why aren’t they emptying their magazines into the car?????
I have recommended debanking.
They would require Congress to pass a new law.
Will the Surrender Monkeys screech or pass on this one?
Asking for a nation.
Nice Sarcasm Tag;
