The deadly consequences of Joe Biden's open border disaster hit home in Portland this week when two Venezuelan gang members affiliated with the notorious Tren de Aragua cartel attacked a U.S. Border Patrol agent with their vehicle, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
The suspects, who were shot after "weaponizing" their vehicle against the federal agent, represent exactly the kind of dangerous criminals who flooded into America during Biden's four-year border catastrophe. While Democrats spent years claiming the border was "secure," violent gang members were establishing footholds in American cities.
Biden's Border Legacy: Gangs in American Streets
Tren de Aragua isn't just any street gang – they're a transnational criminal organization that has terrorized communities across South America before bringing their violence to American soil. Thanks to Biden's catch-and-release policies and his administration's systematic dismantling of Trump's successful border security measures, these criminals found easy passage into the United States.
The attack on the Border Patrol agent in Portland – a sanctuary city that has long coddled illegal immigrants – shows how Biden's policies endangered not just American communities, but the very federal agents tasked with protecting our borders.
"This is exactly what happens when you have an administration that treats our border like a suggestion rather than a line of national sovereignty," said one border security expert.
Now, with President Trump back in office and Secretary Kristi Noem leading the Department of Homeland Security, Americans are finally seeing real action on the border crisis Biden created. Trump's mass deportation operations are already underway, targeting exactly these kinds of dangerous criminals who never should have been here in the first place.
Trump Cleaning Up Biden's Mess
This Portland attack serves as a stark reminder of why 76 million Americans voted to put Trump back in the White House. While Democrats enabled chaos, Trump promised order. While Biden welcomed criminals, Trump is sending them home.
How many more American communities will have to deal with the consequences of Biden's border disaster before every last one of these criminals is deported?
