The Department of Homeland Security has confirmed what many Americans already suspected: the two suspects who "weaponized" their vehicle against a Border Patrol agent in Portland are Venezuelan gang affiliates connected to the notorious Tren de Aragua criminal organization.
The shocking revelation came late Thursday after news broke of a shooting involving U.S. immigration officials in Portland, Oregon. According to DHS sources, both individuals shot during the confrontation are Venezuelan nationals with direct ties to Tren de Aragua's prostitution and trafficking operations.
Here's the kicker, Patriots – one of these gang members already had a final order of removal but was still walking free on American streets. This is Biden's immigration "legacy" in action: known criminals with deportation orders allowed to terrorize communities while our overwhelmed Border Patrol agents risk their lives cleaning up the mess.
Social Media Exposes the Truth
Digital investigator @GUYERDIGITAL broke down the disturbing details on social media: "New DHS data confirms both suspects in the Portland CBP shooting are Venezuelan nationals with ties to the Tren de Aragua prostitution ring. Despite a final order of removal for the driver, both remained" in the United States.
The brazen attack has sparked outrage online, with @RobHoey sharing reports of how the "Suspected Gang Member 'Weaponized' Vehicle Against Border Patrol Agents In Portland." This wasn't some random encounter – this was a targeted assault on federal law enforcement by foreign criminals who should never have been here in the first place.
Left-Wing Groups Attack Our Heroes
But here's where it gets even more infuriating. As @WhitewolfOr7 pointed out, "The Oregon Nurses Association just released a statement whining about federal agents doing their job in Portland—shooting two suspected Tren de Aragua gang members who, according to DHS, tried to run over agents during a targeted stop. Instead of thanking law enforcement..."
That's right – while Border Patrol agents literally fought for their lives against armed gang members, liberal organizations are criticizing the agents for defending themselves. This is the upside-down world Democrats created.
Thanks to President Trump's return to the White House, these Venezuelan gang networks are finally in the crosshairs. But how many more Tren de Aragua operatives are still lurking in sanctuary cities like Portland, waiting to strike? The mass deportation operation can't come fast enough.
