US Border agents shoot two people in Portland, city officials say

PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents shot two people in Portland on Thursday afternoon, according to the FBI, Portland police and city officials.

Portland police said their officers were called to 102nd and Southeast Main Street at about 2:20 p.m., where they said they confirmed federal agents were involved in a shooting.

The condition of the two people who were shot wasn’t immediately known but Portland City Council President Elana Pirtle-Guiney said as far as she knew they were still alive.

Portland police said at a 2:24 p.m., they had learned that a man who had been shot called to request help near Northeast 146th Avenue and East Burnside. Arriving officers found a man and a woman wounded from apparent gunshot wounds. Police confirmed federal agents were involved.

The two people who were wounded were taken to the hospital.

Apparently, the 2 who were shot left 102nd and Southeast Main Street, and called 911 from Northeast 146th Avenue and East Burnside.

They definitely shot some people in Chicago back when they were there, but this certainly seems an escalation. The asshole yesterday looked like he was looking for a reason.

Miller is doing a New Years blitzkrieg, essentially: Venezuela, Greenland, ICE shooting up Dem cities. It's an onslaught.

Now they are turning the screws harder to provoke it.

Who knows, they may end up killing a couple of their own in a false flag operation.

Trump (and Miller) are itching for some dead federal agents to make martyrs of so they can declare some sort of National Emergency.

It's going to suck when that mandatory Presidential Alert on our cell phones goes off. I'll probably smash my cell phone to bits and burn it when that happens.
