Man shot by Border Patrol agent in Portland charged with assaulting federal officer
"Nino-Moncada was charged with aggravated assault of a federal officer with a deadly or dangerous weapon and damaging federal property in excess of $1,000, per a DOJ statement. He made his initial court appearance on Monday afternoon. "Anyone who crosses the red line of assaulting law enforcement will be met with the full force of this Justice Department," Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement."
"Federal officials said they were targeting the pair on Thursday when they approached their vehicle at an Adventist Health office building in the 10200 block of Southeast Main Street. Witnesses told the Oregonian they saw agents pound on the window of a red Toyota Tacoma before the vehicle reversed and hit another car behind it repeatedly before fleeing the parking lot. The witness heard several gunshots as the truck sped away, and federal officials said the pair "attempted to run over the law enforcement agents.""
Luis David Nino-Moncada was charged with aggravated assault of a federal officer with a deadly or dangerous weapon and damaging federal property over $1,000. He appeared in court Monday. Attorney General Pam Bondi warned that anyone who assaults law enforcement will face federal prosecution. Nino-Moncada was booked after release from OHSU, where he was treated for a gunshot to the arm. Zambrano-Contreras suffered a chest wound, was hospitalized, then taken to an ICE facility in Tacoma and charged with illegal entry. Federal officials said agents approached the pair’s vehicle at an Adventist Health office; witnesses reported shots and the vehicle reversing into another car while allegedly attempting to run over agents. DHS alleged ties to Tren de Aragua; Nino-Moncada’s lawyer disputed that.
