Federal agents in the United States reportedly shot and killed two people in Portland, Oregon, where President Donald Trump’s administration has been leading an immigration crackdown.
Portland police said Thursday that they responded to a report of a shooting on Southeast Main Street at around 2:18 p.m. local time.

“Officers have confirmed that federal agents were involved in the shooting,” the city said in a statement.
Then, around 2:24 p.m. GMT, emergency responders received a call for assistance from a male gunshot victim near Northeast 146th Street and East Burnside.
“Officers responded and found a man and woman suffering from apparent gunshot wounds,” the statement said. “Officers applied a tourniquet and called emergency medical personnel.”
The two shooting victims were taken to the hospital. Police said their condition remains unknown.
The FBI’s local office confirmed the shooting in a now-deleted social media post and said Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers were involved in the incident.
“This remains an active and ongoing investigation led by the FBI,” the FBI office in Portland said in a post.
Portland Police Chief Bob Day also issued a statement urging calm. The shooting occurred a day after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents shot and killed Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, while she was driving in her car in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
“We are still in the early stages of this case,” Day said in a statement.
“We understand that many people are feeling emotional and tense in the wake of the shooting in Minneapolis, but we ask members of the community to remain calm as we seek further information.”
Earlier, Portland Mayor Keith Wilson expressed solidarity with the city of Minneapolis after Good’s death, which sparked national outrage.
“Portland stands with you, Minnesota. I warned Homeland Security leadership that their actions were creating a disaster. Yesterday’s horrific loss of life was a direct result of ignoring that warning,” Wilson said in a statement.
“Elected officials cannot stand idly by as constitutional protections are eroded and bloodshed increases. ICE agents and the leadership of the Department of Homeland Security must be thoroughly investigated and held accountable for the violence against American citizens in Minnesota, the city of Portland, and across the country.”
The Trump administration has ruled that Goode’s shooting was an act of self-defense by the ICE agent, but footage showed Goode attempting to steer his vehicle away from federal agents.
Portland has also been the focus of President Trump’s immigration enforcement efforts, and the increased federal presence has sparked largely nonviolent protests in response.
This is breaking news. Details will be announced later.
