Far-left Portland Police Chief Bob Day cried over two Tren de Aragua gang members who were shot after they tried to run over Border Patrol Agents.
Federal agents shot two people in Portland, Oregon, on Thursday afternoon.
According to the Department of Homeland Security, the driver and passenger were affiliated with Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.
“At 2:19 PST, US Border Patrol agents were conducting a targeted vehicle stop in Portland, Oregon. The passenger of the vehicle and target is a Venezuelan illegal alien affiliated with the transnational Tren de Aragua prostitution ring and involved in a recent shooting in Portland,” the DHS said.
“The vehicle driver is believed to be a member of the vicious Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. When agents identified themselves to the vehicle occupants, the driver weaponized his vehicle and attempted to run over the law enforcement agents,” the DHS added.
“Fearing for his life and safety, an agent fired a defensive shot. The driver drove off with the passenger, fleeing the scene. This situation is evolving and more information is forthcoming,” the agency said.
The two gang members were wounded and transported to a local hospital.
On Friday, Portland Police Chief Bob Day had to fight back tears as he admitted the DHS was right about the officer-involved shooting.
“They do have some nexus to involvement with TDA. We can confirm that,” Bob Day said as he fought back tears.
Chief Day admitted he didn’t want to disclose there was a gang affiliation with the two shot by Border Patrol.
“I want to speak for just a moment, specifically to my Latino community,” Day said.
“It saddens me that we even have to qualify these remarks because I understand or at least have attempted to understand your voices, your concern, your fear, your anger,” Day said as he wiped away tears.
“This information, in no way, is meant to disparage or to condone or support or agree with any of the actions that occurred yesterday,” Day added.
