Federal Agents Injure Two in Oregon After Minneapolis ICE Shooting

On 9 January 2026, two civilians were shot and injured in Portland, Oregon, during a Border Patrol “targeted vehicle stop.” Agents reported that the driver had weaponised his vehicle and tried to run over officers, prompting one agent to fire a defensive shot. Both victims were taken to hospital; their conditions remain unclear. The incident follows the fatal ICE shooting of 37‑year‑old Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis, which sparked protests and political condemnation. Oregon Governor and Portland Mayor Keith Wilson condemned the violence, citing erosion of constitutional protections. The event has intensified scrutiny of federal law‑enforcement tactics amid nationwide protests.
