Federal agents shot a man and a woman in Portland, Oregon, on Thursday, police said—one day after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer killed a woman, Renee Nicole Good, in Minneapolis. The agents involved in the Portland shooting are with US Customs and Border Protection, also part of the US Department of Homeland Security, ABC News reports. Police officers who arrived after receiving a call for help Thursday afternoon applied a tourniquet and called for emergency medical personnel, per the AP. Police said that the two wounded people were taken to a hospital and that their conditions were unknown. They're both Portland residents, the city council president said.
Portland Mayor Keith Wilson called the shooting "deeply troubling," per Oregon Public Broadcasting. "We cannot sit by while constitutional protections erode and bloodshed mounts," Wilson said in a statement. "Portland is not a 'training ground' for militarized agents, and the 'full force' threatened by the administration has deadly consequences." Wilson called on ICE to halt its operations in the city until the shooting is investigated. He also urged residents to "show up with calm and purpose during this difficult time." Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden posted that President Trump's "deployment of federal agents in my hometown is clearly inflaming violence—and must end."
Demonstrators and officers, including federal agents, clashed for months in Portland after the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis in 2020, per the New York Times. Trump tried last summer to deploy the National Guard against demonstrations at an ICE installation in Portland over his illegal immigration crackdown but was blocked by a federal judge.
