The Department of Justice has finally charged a Venezuelan illegal immigrant and suspected member of the ultra-violent Tren de Aragua gang who attacked Border Patrol agents in Portland, Oregon last week – another horrific example of how Biden's border catastrophe continues to endanger American lives even after Trump's return to power.
Luis Nino-Moncada, 33, was hit with federal charges in U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon after allegedly ramming a Border Patrol vehicle with his car, forcing agents to open fire in self-defense. The criminal complaint obtained by the Washington Examiner reveals yet another case of foreign gang members bringing their violence to American streets.
Tren de Aragua: Venezuela's Export of Terror
This isn't just another case of illegal immigration – it's about one of South America's most dangerous criminal organizations operating freely on U.S. soil. Tren de Aragua has been linked to brutal murders, human trafficking, and drug smuggling operations across multiple American cities, from Aurora, Colorado to New York City.
The fact that suspected gang members are bold enough to attack federal law enforcement officers in broad daylight shows just how emboldened these criminals became under the Biden regime's catch-and-release policies. For four years, the previous administration rolled out the red carpet for the worst criminals from around the world.
"This is exactly why President Trump made mass deportation his top priority from day one," said one Border Patrol source. "These aren't asylum seekers – they're predators who view America as their hunting ground."
Portland, Oregon – a sanctuary city that has coddled criminals for years – now finds itself on the front lines of gang violence that could have been prevented with proper border security and immigration enforcement.
Trump's Deportation Machine Kicks Into High Gear
This incident perfectly illustrates why the Trump administration is moving at warp speed to identify and remove every single Tren de Aragua member from American soil. With Tom Homan leading the charge on deportations and a fully supportive Congress, there's nowhere left for these gang members to hide.
How many more Border Patrol agents have to risk their lives because Democrats spent four years inviting the world's worst criminals into our country? The answer is zero – and President Trump is making sure of it.
