This is Portland Police saying this, so a slightly smaller grain of salt than the Rock of Gibraltar sized one for the DHS tweet.

Male shot in the arm released to FBI custody, female shot in the chest still hospitalized and stable.

If they were, they wouldn’t have called 911…

So I suspect the “ties” are gonna end up something like testifying against them and getting refugee status here as a form of witness protection.

I’d say we should wait for details, but we can’t count on local PD in a major city to be the truth tellers either.

“Ties"– being from the same country, or maybe an adjacent one.

I was waiting on actual identification of the victims. It wouldn’t have surprised me if CBP got the wrong ID.



“Hello, 911? Your friendly neighborhood cartel bro here. Yeah, just wanted to tell you my exact location so you can come pick me up while I’m incapacitated. No, this isn’t my burner phone, this is my regular one with the caller ID. Took out a Fed on my way down, so you might wanna send some heavily armed cops too, tee hee :3”



The federal government’s criteria for being considered a member of Tren de Aragua is 1. being Venezuelan and 2. having any tattoo - despite the gang not using tattoos as an identifying marker. So, I’m gonna need more than “unspecified ties” from the police to consider this anything more than justifying another attempt to murder someone trying to escape the US gestapo.


Yeah, pending any real evidence, I’m gonna call

BULLSHIT


Police do not have the right to pass judgement.

I know I’m preaching to the choir here but I wish they’d stop saying this shit. They shouldn’t be commenting on any investigation in public so a fair trial can happen.

ACAB


As soon as the term deport was used to describe the wildly unconstitutional act of kidnapping someone people showed they were willing to pass judgement first in order to justify the violation. You can’t just walk that back.


Unspecified equals imaginary in my mind.


I can’t find anything about this on xitter or bluesky. Usually these kinds of events have more people talking about them.

The big one was the DHS post shortly after the shooting:

The guy in the White House is affiliated with a foreign prostitution ring when are they going to get him?




Agents of the Boogiddy Man.


Communists! Communists in every wood pile!


Looks like someone turned on DK mode on golden eye

No Oddjob

Ah shit you’re right

Wait no idea googled it it was dk mode unless in just stupid. I’m so hot right now at work haha
