Two individuals, Venezuelan nationals and illegal residents of the United States, were injured in a shooting on Thursday in Portland, Oregon, by agents of Customs and Border Protection. The Portland Police Department reported that the agents found a man and a woman with apparent gunshot wounds, and both were transported to a nearby hospital, although their health status is unknown. According to information received by Noticias Argentinas via Xinhua, this episode occurred shortly after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis. "Portland now faces another deeply concerning incident," stated Mayor Keith Wilson, adding that the city "cannot stand by with folded arms while constitutional protections are eroded and bloodshed increases." Furthermore, Wilson warned that his city "is not a training ground" for militarized agents and believes that the threat of "total force" from the Donald Trump administration has deadly consequences.
