Democrats and their left-wing media allies are running around with their hair on fire over reports of another shooting involving federal immigration police. The incident occurred yesterday in Portland, Oregon. Here are the facts Big Media want to ignore.
Federal immigration police engaged in a “targeted traffic stop,” meaning they knew exactly who was in the car. Both individuals were illegal aliens and members of the vicious Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. One of the individuals was also involved in a prostitution ring.
When federal immigration police approached the car, the driver attempted to run over the officers and fled the scene. One of the immigration police officers fired in self-defense. Later, the driver called 911 to say he and his wife had been shot. They both survived.
Yet with no other facts, Oregon’s entire political leadership, including Portland’s communist mayor, held a press conference with stricken faces like valued members of the community had been harmed.
