I heard on the news that 2 people were shot by ice in Portland

It's starting to be more and more, it's very concerning.

This happened about 90 minute ago.

Federal immigration agents shot two people in Portland on Thursday afternoon, according to the city.

A news release from the city of Portland stated that the federal agents shot the pair on Southeast Main Street shortly before 2:18 p.m., when Portland police were dispatched to the area.

Portland police officers were not involved in the shooting. They learned that a man had been shot and was requesting help near Northeast 146th Avenue and East Burnside Street, and officers found a man and woman with gunshot wounds.

The two people were taken to the hospital, and their conditions are unknown, according to the city news release.

“We are still in the early stages of this incident,” said Portland police Chief Bob Day in the release. “We understand the heightened emotion and tension many are feeling in the wake of the shooting in Minneapolis, but I am asking the community to remain calm as we work to learn more.”

Officers closed East Burnside Street westbound between Northeast 145th Avenue and Northeast 148th Avenue.

KATU reported that the two people were shot by Customs and Border Protection officers, not ICE officers.

Additional information about the shooting was not immediately available.

Portland City Council abruptly recessed due to a security concern Thursday afternoon, according to Oregon Public Broadcasting.

City Council President Elana Pirtle-Guiney interrupted the meeting by saying: “Councilors, we actually need to recess immediately.”

After the recess, Pirtle-Guiney said that as far as the council knew, the two people were alive.

A source told The Oregonian/OregonLive that city councilors were then informed, by the Portland Bureau of Emergency Management deputy director, of a suspected shooting involving immigration enforcement agents.

Portland police arrested one person Wednesday while monitoring a downtown protest against the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good 37-year-old woman in Minneapolis.

@Northwest I'm worried this is a sign of things to come. We're gonna start seeing more and more being executed. I'm glad those people are alive but at the same time it's concerning

@SatanBurger

Agreed, especially since there will (most likely) be no accountability or justice for the civilians.

not ICE customs border control. Statistics clearly show that not attacking law enforcement results in significantly fewer bullet wounds! Apparently this information has not been made available to everyone. Please share to those you care about...

@SatanBurger you said you looked at the video, right? how many agents do you see?
SatanBurger · 36-40, F
@GerOttman Here's the clear still shot from the video, feel free to pause and let me know when she crashed into them using her car. If there's proof I should have seen it, I didn't. It's up to you to prove claims, put up or shut up.

There have been other cases before, but it's just now starting to get attention. They can't just brush it off and get away with it. ICE is a state-sponsored terror squad, as I said in another post. More people are hopefully seeing it for what it is.
@WestonTexan yes, the mainstream oligarch media is desperate to turn your attention to the murders! But Russia is actually doing stuff to neuter the West.

I say The American Red Cross needs to set up a med tent nearby where ever ice goes maybe.

@FloorGenAdm

and refuse any and all medical treatment to the agents.

This is exactly how it started in nazi Germany. The mass killings and tyranny didn’t happen overnight it was a slow but steady process of evil. Something needs to be done immediately because thats exactly where we’re heading in a few years.

This seems to be a completely different situation:

@trollslayer Can we believe them when they say anyone ran them over, they've used the excuse two other times and they are lying. The woman in Chicago who got off on all charges show that she was innocent and the woman in Minneapolis who drove away as an ice agent shot her in the head and made her crash.

"Targeted" traffic stop yeah right more like racial profiling

@SatanBurger every law enforcement besides ICE i still give the benefit of the doubt. Yes I know there are plenty of rogue cops and plenty of overstressed cops, but I don’t smell a rat with this one (yet).

How soon before North Korea is declared safer for civilian?

And to nobody's surprise, the entire right-wing establishment is defending ICE. People will be outraged for a week but not actually do anything, the ICE thugs will realize they can get away with this, and eventually ICE murdering civilians will have been normalized.

@SatanBurger not to mention they won’t even let priests in there. If they had nothing to hide then why won’t they let anyone in?
SatanBurger · 36-40, F
@Captainjackass Yeah it's hard for me to believe how perfectly normal healthy people can end up in the hospital fairly quickly in those camps. They are hiding things, they don't want the people to speak.
Captainjackass · 31-35, M
@SatanBurger it’s exactly the same way the nazis did it. My favorite podcast recently did a multiple episode series on the rise of himler and the rise of the nazi party and it’s the exact same thing as going on here.
The people voted for violent mass deportations
