The dangerous reality of Biden's border crisis came home to roost in Portland, Oregon, where two Venezuelan gang members affiliated with the notorious Tren de Aragua cartel attacked a U.S. Border Patrol agent with their vehicle, forcing the agent to open fire in self-defense.
The Department of Homeland Security confirmed late Thursday that both suspects shot during the violent encounter are connected to Tren de Aragua, the same Venezuelan gang that has terrorized communities across America after Biden rolled out the red carpet for millions of unvetted migrants.
This is exactly what President Trump warned about during his campaign – and precisely why his administration has already begun implementing the largest mass deportation operation in American history. While the mainstream media tried to paint Trump's immigration plans as "extreme," here we have concrete proof that dangerous gang members are literally attacking our law enforcement officers.
Biden's Legacy of Lawlessness
For four years, the Biden regime threw open our borders and allowed criminal organizations like Tren de Aragua to establish footholds in American cities. Now, brave Border Patrol agents are paying the price with their lives on the line.
"This incident underscores the critical importance of President Trump's immigration enforcement priorities," a DHS source told reporters. "We're dealing with organized criminal networks that pose a direct threat to public safety and our officers."
The attack in Portland isn't an isolated incident – it's a symptom of the border crisis that Trump inherited and is now working to fix.
Under Secretary Kristi Noem's leadership, DHS is finally taking the gloves off against these criminal organizations. The agency has identified Tren de Aragua as a priority target for deportation operations, along with MS-13 and other transnational gangs that flourished under Biden's weak policies.
Patriots across America are asking: How many more attacks on our law enforcement will it take before Democrats admit their open-border policies were a disaster? Trump's in office now, and the cleanup of Biden's mess has officially begun.
