Federal Border Patrol agents were forced to open fire on a suspected Venezuelan gang member who weaponized his vehicle against them during a targeted operation in Portland, Oregon, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
The dangerous incident unfolded when Border Patrol agents conducted what DHS described as a "targeted" stop on a vehicle carrying two individuals allegedly affiliated with the notorious Tren de Aragua gang - the same criminal organization that has terrorized American communities from coast to coast under the failed Biden immigration policies.
When agents approached the vehicle, the suspected gang member behind the wheel attempted to run them down, prompting one Border Patrol officer to draw his weapon and fire a defensive shot at the attacking vehicle. The gang member and his passenger - also suspected of having gang ties - managed to speed away from the scene.
Social media users quickly highlighted the significance of this brazen attack on federal officers. "BREAKING: DHS Confirms Border Patrol Shot a Confirmed Tren de Aragua Gang Member After Vehicle Attack on Officers in Portland," posted @DadOfLibs, sharing news of the incident.
Another user, @Imperator132, perfectly captured the absurdity of how these incidents get twisted by the mainstream media: "Foreign gang members attack Border Patrol. Agents defend themselves. Media spins it like they're guilty. This is chaos, not justice."
This Is What Biden's Open Border Brought Us
The Tren de Aragua gang has become synonymous with the immigration crisis that plagued America during the Biden administration. These violent criminals flooded across our borders along with millions of other illegal aliens, bringing their reign of terror to American cities from New York to Aurora, Colorado.
Now, just two weeks before President Trump's inauguration, these foreign criminals are literally trying to run down the very federal agents tasked with removing them from our country. It's a stark reminder of why Trump's mandate for mass deportations resonates with Patriots nationwide.
How many more Border Patrol agents will be put in harm's way by these foreign gang members before we finally secure our borders and remove these criminals from American soil?
