What happened in Minneapolis involving ICE agents?
You have to check out.
OK, we're following a lot of stories right now, of course. And just one day after the fatal shooting by ICE in Minneapolis, federal immigration agents have now shot and wounded two additional people today. And just we learned about this in just the last couple hours, this time in Portland, Oregon. Officials are holding a press conference tonight to update the public. We're going to be monitoring that to bring you any news at all that comes out of it. But at this point, we just don't have a lot of information. What we do know is that DHS confirmed a shooting that took place just after 2 p.m. Pacific time involving Customs and Border Protection, better known as Border Patrol. The agency, which, of course, along with ICE, has been leading Trump's immigration crackdown across the United States.
Now, in a statement, Portland police said the victims, a man and woman with apparent gunshot wounds, were transported to a hospital, but their conditions are unknown. And of course, we will bring you anything we learn about this developing situation.
How are protests responding to the ICE shooting incident?
Of course, this also comes on the heels of yesterday's deadly shooting of 37-year-old mother Renee Good, who was killed at the hands of an ICE agent in Minneapolis. And tonight, the outcry over that shooting is reverberating not just in Minneapolis, but across the country. This was the scene in Asheville, North Carolina today, more than 1,000 miles away from the city of Minneapolis, where demonstrators turned out in droves to protest the Trump administration's deadly approach to immigration enforcement. also in Cleveland, Ohio, where folks showed up in big numbers with signs, you can see some of them on your screen, that say, stop ICE and ICE out of our communities. In Boston, Massachusetts, in New York City, people marched and protested throughout the course of the day.
You can see those photos on your screen. In Durham, North Carolina, in Louisville, Kentucky, in Indianapolis, in Philadelphia, people everywhere protesting against the killing of this young mother and ICE's tactics in general. This was the scene right here in Washington, D.C. earlier this evening, just before we got on the air. And in Portland, Maine, where protesters held a candlelight vigil, you can see that there. And of course, in Minneapolis, there have been sustained protests. Even as ICE officers continue to patrol the streets, even as that community grapples with the very real danger that those ICE officers pose to everyone there. Despite what they saw happen on a video yesterday to a 37-year-old woman, despite frigid temperatures and icy streets, people have not stopped showing up in big, peaceful demonstrations, making their opposition to the cruelty and brutality of this administration crystal clear.
And just part of what is incredibly sick about all of this is that over the past year, Trump has been promising that his crackdown on immigrants was going to somehow be good for everybody else, that it would help everyone else in this country, that the unending cruelty toward those vulnerable communities would make everyone else safer. That's his argument. But the opposite is true. His immigration crackdown is making communities less safe. The officials working for the agencies he directs are making them less safe. The killing of Rene Good made that abundantly clear. But the only thing Trump and his cabinet know how to do is to continue demonizing immigrants, as well as basically anyone else who might question their reckless actions.
And so they have spent the last 36 hours doubling down. This is what I was talking about, the lack of moral clarity or humanity. I mean, today, Vice President Vance even proactively went out to the White House briefing room, which means it was on his schedule, they planned for this, and spent 35 minutes at the podium smearing Renee Good's reputation and continuing to defend the person who shot her, while attacking the press for simply asking the basic questions we all have after watching the video of her tragic death.
