Portland Federal Agent Shoots Two During Targeted Stop; Mayor Demands ICE Cease Operations
Two people wounded in Portland when a federal agent fired during a targeted stop, prompting the mayor to call for an ICE halt.
On Jan 8 2026 at about 2:18 p.m. local time, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent fired at a red Toyota on Southeast Main Street in Portland, Oregon. The vehicle, stopped under "Operation Oregon" for allegedly carrying members of the Tren de Aragua gang, saw the driver attempt to ram agents, prompting a defensive shot that injured a man and a woman. Both victims received treatment at a local hospital; their conditions remain unknown. City officials, including Mayor Keith Wilson, called for ICE to halt all operations in Portland pending an independent inquiry. Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield opened a state investigation, while Portland Police Chief Bob Day and Multnomah County DA Nathan Vasquez joined the probes. Protests outside an ICE facility led to six arrests early Friday.
