U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents discharged their firearms, injuring two individuals in Portland, Oregon, on Thursday. This shooting followed a similar incident involving an ICE agent and a left-wing activist in Minneapolis the previous day. Details surrounding the Portland incident are limited, but Portland police confirmed their involvement after federal agents were present. Reports indicate the two wounded individuals, a man and a woman, were transported to a hospital. A 911 call logged by Border Patrol suggested the victims, a husband and wife, may have attempted to run over an agent. The precise location of the event was reported as near Southeast 102nd and Main Street, with another report placing it near East Burnside and 141st Avenue. The condition of the victims was unknown at the time, though a city council official indicated they were alive. The text suggests a pattern of escalating incidents in sanctuary cities populated by left-wing activist groups. The close proximity of these shootings in locations with known Antifa presence raises concerns about potential overnight protests or riots.
