The #Portland #shooting unfolded Thursday afternoon as #US #BorderPatrol agents were conducting a targeted vehicle stop, #DHS said in a statement.
The DHS “statement” [ #propaganda] claimed the driver, a suspected Venezuelan gang member, attempted to "weaponize" his vehicle & run over the agents. In response, DHS said, "an agent fired a defensive shot" & the driver & a passenger drove away.
An all too common refrain.

Reuters was unable to independently verify the circumstances of the incident.
#Portland police said in a statement that the #shooting took place near a medical clinic in the eastern part of the city.
6 minutes after arriving at the scene & determining federal agents were involved, police were informed that 2 people with gunshot wounds - a man & a woman - were asking for help at a location about 2 miles NE of the medical clinic.
Police said they applied tourniquets to the man & woman, who were taken to a hospital. Their condition was unknown.

While they said the #FBI was investigating, #Portland Mayor Keith Wilson & #Oregon Governor Tina Kotek, both Democrats, called for a pause in the federal #immigration crackdown pending a full & #independent investigation.
"There was a time when we could take them at their word," Wilson said of how federal officials had described the #shooting. "That time is long past."

@Nonilex What about a pause in murders?
@Nonilex So why are so many still acting as if the feds and MAGAts are simply bending the rules at the margins. Wake the fuck up! MAGAmoron has declared war on the US and Americans.
At the same news conference, #state Senator Kayse Jama, who arrived in the #US 28 years ago as a refugee from Somalia, addressed #federal #immigration agents: "We do not need you, you are not welcome, you need to get the hell out of our community."
#Oregon AG Dan Rayfield said late on Thursday that his office is opening a formal investigation into the incident to look into whether "any federal officer acted outside the scope of their lawful authority."
@Nonilex They are obviously so eager to get to the "shooting into crowds" part of the fascist program. I'm surprised they haven't sent trainees on an exchange with Iran this week.
