In a pathetic display that perfectly captures the collapse of liberal leadership, Portland Police Chief Bob Day literally broke down in tears Friday while admitting the Department of Homeland Security was absolutely right about a shooting involving the savage Tren de Aragua gang members.
The Venezuelan gang has been wreaking havoc across American cities, turning once-peaceful neighborhoods into war zones thanks to Joe Biden's disastrous open border policies. Now, under President Trump's second term, federal agencies are finally being allowed to tell the TRUTH about these criminal invaders.
According to DHS reports, two people were injured in the shooting involving alleged members of the notorious gang that has terrorized communities from Aurora, Colorado to New York City. But what's truly stunning is watching Portland's police chief literally weep while having to acknowledge reality.
Liberal Denial Meets Brutal Reality
For years, Democrat-controlled cities like Portland have bent over backwards to downplay the growing threat of foreign criminal organizations flooding across our southern border. They've called concerned Americans "racist" and "xenophobic" for demanding action against these violent gangs.
Now, with Trump's mass deportation plans in full swing and competent leadership back at DHS under Secretary Kristi Noem, local officials can no longer hide behind their woke talking points.
"The truth is finally coming out, and these liberal police chiefs can't handle it," one federal law enforcement source told reporters. "They've been covering for criminal aliens for so long, they forgot how to protect actual Americans."
Tren de Aragua has been linked to violent crimes, drug trafficking, and human smuggling operations across multiple states. The gang specifically targets sanctuary cities where they know spineless Democrat politicians will protect them from federal immigration enforcement.
Trump's Promise Delivered
This admission comes as President Trump's administration ramps up efforts to dismantle these criminal networks once and for all. Unlike the previous administration that rolled out the red carpet for gang members, Trump's team is putting Americans first.
How many more Americans have to suffer before every liberal politician admits what we've known all along? The invasion at our border isn't bringing "dreamers" – it's bringing nightmares to our communities.
