PORTLAND, Ore. — The FBI has disclosed that no surveillance or video evidence was captured of a shooting involving a Border Patrol agent in Portland, in which two people were injured. This incident took place during an immigration enforcement operation and has sparked protests over the methods used by federal agents during such operations.

According to reports, the shooting occurred when the driver of a pickup truck reversed aggressively, colliding with an unoccupied vehicle rented by the federal agents. Fearing for their safety, an agent fired upon the truck, which later fled the scene. The FBI has interviewed several agents who were present, although it remains unclear whether the shooter was among them.

The two individuals in the truck, identified as having entered the U.S. illegally and linked to the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, were later located. The driver of the truck, Luis David Nino-Moncada, was charged with aggravated assault and property damage after being treated for gunshot wounds.

His passenger, Yorlenys Betzabeth Zambrano-Contreras, sustained injuries from the shooting and is currently detained in a private immigration facility. Both face serious allegations related to their connections with criminal activities.

Federal officials have expressed a commitment to uphold law and order, with Attorney General Pam Bondi asserting that individuals assaulting law enforcement will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. The incident is also reflective of broader concerns regarding immigration enforcement tactics, which have drawn increasing scrutiny and protests from community members advocating for justice and human rights.
