OR Democrats Dont Care That Border Patrol Took

As PinkState reported, soon after 2 p.m. Pacific Time on Thursday, two people have been shot by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) brokers in Portland, Oregon. After the tragic capturing on Wednesday in Minneapolis of anti-ICE activist Renee Good by an ICE agent, news of this Portland capturing immediately raised alarm bells, despite the fact that particulars surrounding the incident have been still unfolding. 

Portland Police Bureau Chief Bob Day provided this cryptic assertion, where he bends over backwards to emphasize that the Portland Police Bureau (PPB) was NOT concerned in any “way, shape,” or type with immigration. 

This is a federal investigation, it is being led by the FBI, we have now been in contact with them, we’re in common contact, this is their accountability. But when we have now these sort of occasions occur in town, Portland Police Bureau does offer a degree of help. This shouldn’t be in any means, form, or type immigration-related on our end. We have no idea the info of this case, we’re merely offering the normal investigative assist and perimeter assist, which is minimal. But I do need to make it clear that we’re on the market but we aren’t concerned in immigration.

WATCH:

Portland Police Chief Bob Day confirmed two people have been injured in a federal officer-involved capturing outdoors a hospital in Portland on Thursday afternoon, but said he was “unsure” if it was an immigration-related event.

Adhering to the mantra taught by former Clinton Chief of Staff and former Democrat Mayor of Chicago Rahm Emmanuel to “never let a crisis go to waste,” before the particular federal company was even recognized or data issued on who the capturing victims have been, Portland and Oregon elected officers sounded off on the standard suspects: ICE and Trump. 

So, they’re having a regular one, as per typical.

Between the hours of 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. Pacific Time, Portland Mayor Keith Wilson issued this assertion:

Just someday after the horrific violence in Minnesota at the palms of federal brokers, our group right here in Portland is now grappling with another deeply troubling incident. Earlier this afternoon, two people have been shot and injured by federal brokers in the Hazelwood neighborhood.

Wilson did not hassle with the pretzel efficiency given by Chief Day. Without the profanity (refreshing), Wilson lifted his assertion straight from Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, with the standard imagery of militarized federal brokers, railing against the evil Trump administration, and demanding that “ICE” stop operations in town.

“We are calling on ICE to halt all operations in Portland until a full and independent investigation can take place.”

Wilson then threatened the lawfare route. Good Luck with that.

We can not sit by while constitutional protections erode and bloodshed mounts. Portland shouldn’t be a “training ground” for militarized brokers, and the “full force” threatened by the administration has lethal penalties. As Mayor, I call on ICE to end all operations in Portland until a full investigation may be accomplished.

Federal militarization undermines efficient, group‑based public security, and it runs counter to the values that outline our area. I’ll use every legal and legislative device out there to shield our residents’ civil and human rights.

Oregon Rep. Janelle Bynum (D-05) mimics her Democrat House colleague Jasmine Crockett (TX-30) by dropping F-bombs before and throughout her assertion.

Stay elegant, Janelle.

Not to be outdone, Oregon Democrat State Senate Leader and Somali immigrant Kayse Jama, who seems to barely have the ability to grasp English, desires ICE to know they aren’t welcome and to “Get the hell out of our community.”

Maxine Dexter (OR-03), another Democrat Rep., also assumed ICE and invoked Trump and authoritarianism as she demanded ICE get out of Portland. 

Her assertion, in half:

Just someday after the horrific homicide in Minneapolis, I acquired studies that two people in my district have been shot by federal immigration officers this afternoon in East Portland. Both people are alive, but we have no idea the extent of their accidents.

ICE has performed nothing but inject terror, chaos, and cruelty in our communities. Trump’s immigration machine is utilizing violence to control our communities — straight out of the authoritarian playbook.

Here’s how we all know this is all theater: They ignored — or did not hassle to pay attention — to Chief Day’s weak sauce assertion that he had no concept which federal company was concerned. Instead, the knee-jerk response was focus on ICE, and that it is all Trump’s fault. Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) joined that refrain, but cautioned people to protest peacefully because it was Trump who would do something to incite a riot.

Uh huh.

Huge concern about a reported capturing of two people by federal brokers outdoors Portland Adventist Hospital.

My group and I are carefully monitoring this state of affairs and are working laborious to get solutions. I’ll share any updates as I be taught more.

Please keep protests of Trump’s… https://t.co/1a6QoJfbia

Fox News’ White House correspondent Bill Melugin said it nicely in his quote of Rep. Maxine Dexter’s X assertion:

This is what occurs when politicians put out statements without ready for any info.  

“ICE must end all operations in Portland…” & bashes ICE and so forth.  

But this capturing wasn’t even ICE. It was Border Patrol. Completely different businesses. & DHS says they have been focusing on TdA.

A few hours after the incident was reported, the Department of Homeland Security issued this post:

At 2:19 PST, US Border Patrol brokers have been conducting a focused vehicle stop in Portland, Oregon. The passenger of the vehicle and goal is a Venezuelan unlawful alien affiliated with the transnational Tren de Aragua prostitution ring and concerned in a current capturing in Portland. The vehicle driver is believed to be a member of the vicious Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. When brokers recognized themselves to the vehicle occupants, the driving force weaponized his vehicle and tried to run over the law enforcement brokers.  

Fearing for his life and security, an agent fired a defensive shot. The driver drove off with the passenger, fleeing the scene.  

This state of affairs is evolving and more data is forthcoming.

No matter what the info are or what DHS has to say on the matter, the Democrat and leftists’ agenda is already at play: Ignore the info, manipulate or engineer acts of violence against federal law enforcement, throw stones, then conceal within their glass home and watch the rabble soften down, burn it down, and blame Trump. 

Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek is now demanding a “full investigation.” As a state that might nicely have as a lot rampant Somali fraud as Minnesota, Kotek ought to be cautious what she asks for.
