"A day after a woman was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minnesota, two people were shot by a Border Patrol agent Thursday afternoon in Portland. Against a backdrop of ongoing protests at the ICE building in Portland, and local leaders lambasting the Department of Homeland Security for unlawful immigration tactics and excessive violence, Thursday's shooting was the latest in a pattern of escalating violence from federal immigration agents."
The local outlet requests small monthly contributions to sustain news reporting, arts and culture coverage, event listings, and hosted events that support the city. Showers will pause and temperatures are expected to reach 50 degrees with some sun. A Border Patrol agent shot two people Thursday afternoon in Portland amid ongoing protests at the ICE building and recent deadly use of force by federal agents in Minnesota. Portland Police responded to reports of shots at the Adventist Health Primary Care campus; the victims were a man and a woman allegedly targeted for arrest and their conditions remain unknown. Officials across city and state levels and the public expressed heavy backlash, and Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield vowed an investigation. Portland City Council adjourned a scheduled vote for council president without making a decision.
