2 von Bundesagenten in Portland erschossen: Quellen

It wouldn’t surprise me if they tried a false flag at this point.

impeach Noem

Mods what you doing they’re making Trump look bad. Hurry remove this.

We’re one week into year two. Christ.

Not to trivialize, but… Nope. I’m out. Time for a re roll.

Oh no more evidence of corruption… better delete this post like anytime someone points out the the President is the Epstein files repeatedly…

> Federal agents involved in the shooting are with U.S. Customs and Border Protection, not Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to sources.

So dog poo instead of cow poo?

Why on erth do they have lethal weapons?! They have virtually no training, many of them are criminals and/or blatant idiots, & they’re trusted with guns? it’s insane!

“The FBI is responding to the scene, sources said.” How comforting /s

It’s really not a contest guys. Really. Just cause ICE shot one person yesterday doesn’t mean CBP needs to shoot two today.

They must of heard jd Vance say they have total immunity.

These outcomes were inevitable. The Trump administration’s authoritarian deployment of untrained and unchecked federal thugs around the country never intended to „reduce crime“ or drive back some imaginary „invasion“ or „rebellion.“ No, the intention was always to legitimize the occupation of areas around the country where Trump’s political opposition is strongest.

Places where federalized troops and masked ICE agents have been mobilized to crackdown on protestors, crush dissenting voices, profile their targets, assault passersby, throw people into unmarked vehicles, restrict civil liberties and arrest or detain anyone who meets the government’s vague criteria of a „domestic terrorist.“

Donald Trump, his allies and followers are trying desperately to turn the criminals into the victims of these situations so that they can continue justifying their terrorizing presence in this country.

It also speaks volumes that all of the MAGA mouthpieces are out in full force trying to defend murder; repeating the phrases that have been provided to them by the White House; peddling the regime’s propaganda in order to control the narrative.

That narrative’s purpose is not only to make victims out of criminals, but to also insist that casualties like Renee Good deserved it because they are part of a larger, hostile, yet fictional left-wing threat to this country—excuse me—*their* country.

MAGA would be screaming bloody murder if these victims were one of their own.

This is because their loyalty and the loyalty of these federalized goons is not to this country, nor the safety of its people, not to the law, nor the constitution, but to Donald Trump and to a destructive, hateful and violent ideology. The only authority they have to answer to is one that will absolve them of all wrongdoing, even in the case of murder.

Trump has already threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act as part of an effort to subvert the authority of states and invalidate the Posse Comitatus Act, giving him the power to order the military and his personal army of ICE agitators to enforce his will and carry out the law however the administration sees fit.

And like every other step Trump has taken towards consolidating power and control over the country, these actions do absolutely nothing to confront the underlying, root causes of crime, „domestic terrorism,“ political violence and other systemic issues.

These measures are also meant to produce the *illusion* of safety. They fail at being an effective and reliable deterrent to anything.

And as elections roll around, there’s always the strong likelihood that Trump will use this aggressive military presence to suppress the vote in urban areas.

„Law and order“ has been a conservative dog whistle for decades, and we know that Trump and MAGA don’t care all that sincerely about the law because they believe they are above it. In other words:

> „For my friends everything, for my enemies the law.“

MAGA’s law and order rhetoric is rife with these thinly veiled dog whistles meant to incite violence and hostility towards minorities, immigrants and marginalized groups. This language is also used to justify the Trump administration’s descent into authoritarianism and to rationalize violence as a means to an end. To them, „law and order“ means punishing their enemies.

Their obsession with crime and punishment is reflected in their support for federalizing troops and local law enforcement to subdue their political opponents and terrorize the population. It’s reflected in this administration’s militarization of domestic policy, in Trump’s weaponization of ICE and the DOJ, in the Republican party’s disregard for the basic constitutional rights of the people they’re targeting and arresting, in Trump’s attacks on law firms and judges, in his defiance of court orders and checks and balances, and in his pursuit of vengeance against his critics, his political enemies and anyone who has ever tried to hold him accountable for *his* crimes.

The hypocrisy is baffling. While Trump and his supporters are demanding that he receive a Nobel Peace Prize for his feckless efforts at ending multiple wars (he hasn’t) and „negotiating“ an imaginary peace around the world, he is simultaneously waging war against the American people, people he is tasked with protecting.

These tactics are taken directly from the fascist playbook. Including the current use of divisive rhetoric from Trump and his allies who are trying desperately to justify the occupation of cities around the country by broadly designating Democrats and all left-leaning political foes as „terrorists.“

They’re also using this opportunity to stigmatize and scapegoat minorities and immigrants while spreading fearmongering propaganda that appeals largely to conservative grievances and fears.

It’s also obvious that the Trump administration is hoping to provoke an incident. They’re desperate for an escalation—for a violent response so that Trump can continue to push the limits of his power and so his supporters can try to justify more military incursions across the country.

None of it is sincere. All of their rhetoric and their responses to tragedies and political commotions of the past were really just rallying cries.

They couldn’t care less about the root causes of crime, political violence or domestic extremism. Their chief priority throughout all of this has been to construct a pretext to declare war against „the radical left.“

And now that the Trump administration gets to dictate who or what conforms to the vague definition of a „domestic terrorist,“ they will continue to use this label very sweepingly to suppress civil liberties, to scapegoat their enemies, to crackdown on dissent and to arrest (or kill) anyone who gets in their way.

i live in portland.

This is all part of Trump’s plan: Force confrontations and chaos by flooding only Democratic cities with ICE agents…all to distract from the Epstein files.

Then Trump positions himself as the „law and order“ guy who will restore security and safety…for the violence HE caused.

The main thing holding them back before this was that none of them had crossed that line. They crossed it yesterday and saw the administration defending them – they’re not holding back anymore

Such a short article and the details are all so incredibly insane. This shit is gonna get baaad. 

This is escalation, on purpose. they tried all last year to draw a response and didn’t get what they wanted, so now they are just going to start shooting people.

What will it take to demand accountability?

From DHS

„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 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.

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.“

„allegedly affiliated with the Tren de Aragua gang“…they’re just not tho. Thats a Venezuela prison gang. In the US its just a boogeyman of the right 🙄
