The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Border Patrol agent shoots 2 people in Portland, day after ICE agent kills Minneapolis woman

The agent fired shots after “the driver weaponized his vehicle and attempted to run over” Border Patrol agents who “were conducting a targeted vehicle stop,” said Homeland Security Department Deputy Secretary Tricia McLaughlin.

“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,” McLaughlin said.


cnbc.com - Portland shooting federal agents

They have a twofer there: "weaponized vehicle" and a Venezuelan boogyman.

If the FBI buttons up this investigation, the same way they have in Minneapolis, I am skeptical we will ever know the truth of what happened.
