Blubbering Portland Police Chief Admits DHS Was Right About Border Patrol Shooting, Tren De Aragua

Police Chief Day admitted those involved in the shooting were indeed tied to TDA, a brutal Venezuela-based gang.

“What I can say is there is an association with the two folks yesterday and TDA,” Day admitted. “I hesitated to even share this information initially because I’m very aware of the historic injustice of victim-blaming oftentimes portrayed by law enforcement, including this very agency.”

Then, breaking down in tears, Day addressed the “Latino community.”

“It saddens — it saddens me that we even have to qualify these remarks,” he said. “Because I understand, or at least have attempted to understand through your voices, your concern, your fear, your anger — this information in no way meant to disparage or to condone or support or agree with any of the actions that occurred yesterday.”

The police chief added that it’s “important that we stay committed to the rule of law, that we stay committed to the facts, that we stay … trustworthy and legitimate.”

Journalist Andy Ngo underscored on X the city and state leadership’s commitment to condemning federal authorities, instead of reiterating the facts involved in the case from the start.
