New shocking details have emerged about a violent attack on federal immigration officers in Portland, where a suspected member of the notorious Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua allegedly tried to run over U.S. Border Patrol agents with his vehicle.

The dangerous encounter escalated so quickly that one Border Patrol agent was forced to draw his weapon and fire a "defensive shot" at the vehicle to protect himself and fellow officers, according to federal authorities. This is exactly the kind of violence that President Trump warned Americans about when he promised mass deportations to protect our communities.

Biden's Border Crisis Comes Home to Roost

This attack represents the deadly consequences of the Biden administration's open border policies that allowed dangerous gang members to flood into our cities. Tren de Aragua, one of Venezuela's most violent criminal organizations, has been spreading across American communities like a cancer - and now they're literally trying to kill our federal agents.

The incident occurred as immigration officers were attempting to carry out their duties in Portland, a sanctuary city that has rolled out the red carpet for illegal aliens while handcuffing law enforcement. How many more of our brave agents will be put in harm's way because liberal cities refuse to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement?

"This is what happens when you have an administration that prioritizes the rights of criminals over the safety of American citizens and federal agents," said one immigration expert.

The suspected gang member now faces federal charges for attempting to assault immigration officers - but he should never have been in our country in the first place. This is precisely why President Trump's deportation agenda is so critical for American safety.

While the mainstream media will likely downplay this story, Patriots need to understand the stakes: these aren't just "migrants seeking a better life" - they're hardened criminals who view our law enforcement officers as targets. How many more attacks will it take before every American city starts cooperating with ICE and Border Patrol?

Perfect example of why Trump's policies worked. We had the border under control and now look what's happening.

My brother works Border Patrol in Arizona and deals with this kind of violence weekly. The media never covers how dangerous this job really is.

Thank God our Border Patrol agents are trained and armed to defend themselves. This is exactly why we need to secure our borders NOW!

Absolutely right. These agents put their lives on the line every day while politicians play games with our safety.
