The Biden border crisis just claimed another victim. Two Venezuelan gang members affiliated with the notorious Tren de Aragua criminal organization attacked a U.S. Border Patrol agent with their vehicle in Portland, Oregon, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
The suspects were shot after they "weaponized" their vehicle against the federal agent, DHS confirmed late Thursday. This violent assault on American law enforcement proves exactly what President Trump has been warning about - dangerous foreign criminals are running wild in our cities thanks to four years of open border madness.
Tren de Aragua isn't just any street gang, Patriots. This is a transnational criminal enterprise that has terrorized Venezuela and spread like cancer across Latin America. Now they're bringing their violence to American soil, targeting the very agents trying to protect our homeland.
The Venezuela Connection
While the Biden regime rolled out the red carpet for millions of unvetted migrants, including hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans, they ignored urgent warnings about gang infiltration. How many more Tren de Aragua operatives are lurking in sanctuary cities like Portland, planning their next attack on Americans?
This incident perfectly illustrates why the Trump-Vance administration's mass deportation program isn't just good policy - it's a national security imperative. Every day we delay removing criminal aliens is another day they can harm law-abiding Americans and our brave border agents.
"We cannot allow foreign gangs to turn American cities into their personal hunting grounds."
Portland's soft-on-crime policies created the perfect environment for these Venezuelan thugs to operate. While local Democrats defunded police and declared their city a sanctuary for illegals, dangerous gang members were free to plan attacks on federal agents.
The CBP agent involved in this shooting deserves our prayers and support. Meanwhile, every American should be asking: how many more attacks will it take before Democrats admit their immigration policies are a disaster?
President Trump's deportation machine can't move fast enough. It's time to send these gang members back where they came from - before they strike again.
