Federal agents in Portland, Oregon, were involved in a shooting incident, resulting in injuries to two individuals. This marks the second occurrence in less than 24 hours where federal immigration authorities have discharged firearms in self-defense scenarios.

The Portland Police Department responded to reports of gunfire on Southeast Main Street at approximately 2:18 PM local time (22:18 GMT). Federal agents were confirmed to be involved in the shooting.

Emergency responders received assistance calls from a male victim at about 2:24 PM (22:24 GMT) near Northeast 146th Avenue and East Burnside. Both a male and female victim were found with gunshot wounds and transported to the hospital. Their conditions are currently unknown.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) confirmed the involvement of Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) agents in the incident. The FBI is leading the ongoing investigation.

Department of Homeland Security's Statement

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) described the incident as self-defense during a "targeted vehicle stop." DHS identified the target as a passenger linked to a criminal organization and involved in a recent shooting. The driver reportedly used the vehicle as a weapon, prompting agents to fire defensively.

Portland has been a significant focus of federal immigration enforcement under the administration's nationwide crackdown. The recent incident follows a similar event where an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent was involved in a fatal shooting in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The local administration has been critical of federal actions, calling for accountability and calm.

Portland Mayor Keith Wilson has requested federal immigration agents to cease operations in the city until a comprehensive investigation is completed. Local officials emphasize the importance of maintaining community-based public safety and protecting civil liberties.
