US EditionPortland Chief Confirms Gang Ties in Border Patrol Shooting
The agent fired in self-defense after the vehicle was used as a weapon during a targeted stop; both wounded individuals have confirmed ties to the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.
- On Thursday, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents shot two people in Portland, and U.S. Department of Homeland Security officials said on Friday they were Tren de Aragua members without legal U.S. citizenship.
- Inside a northern Venezuelan prison, Tren de Aragua began in 2013 under Héctor Guerrero, growing by charging fees and crimes while the prison functioned like a resort until last year.
- In 2024, the Biden administration classified the group as a Transnational Criminal Organization, and the U.S. Department of State offers a reward for Héctor Guerrero, charged in a New York federal court who remains at large.
- Following the prison takeover, gang members scattered to Peru, Colombia, Ecuador and Chile, while Venezuelan migrant communities accuse Tren de Aragua of violent crimes.
- With about 4,000 members across 11 states, the Venezuelan Observatory of Violence highlights Tren de Aragua's scale, while U.S. Department of Homeland Security officials did not immediately share evidence linking the Portland suspects.
