National Guard set to arrive in Portland
Tom Homan, a prominent figure in border enforcement, appeared on ‘Saturday in America’ to address issues related to border security, ongoing efforts to combat drug smuggling by sea, and the anticipated deployment of the National Guard to Portland.
In a developing situation in Portland, Oregon, several individuals were injured in a shooting incident on Thursday afternoon that involved federal agents.
The Portland Police Bureau (PPB) reported that officers were dispatched to the 10200 block of Southeast Main Street at approximately 2:18 p.m. local time, following reports of a shooting. It was confirmed that federal agents were involved in the incident.
Shortly after, at 2:24 p.m., authorities received a call from a man who had been shot, requesting assistance in the vicinity of Northeast 146th Avenue and East Burnside.
Upon arrival, police discovered both a man and a woman suffering from apparent gunshot wounds, according to city officials.

They were taken to the hospital and their conditions are unknown.
Both scenes were secured by the PPB pending an investigation, officials said.
Sources told Fox News the federal agents involved were with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

No arrests have been confirmed.
“We are still in the early stages of this incident,” PPB Chief Bob Day wrote in a statement. “We understand the heightened emotion and tension many are feeling in the wake of the shooting in Minneapolis, but I am asking the community to remain calm as we work to learn more.”

PPB officers were not involved in the incident, and “do not engage in immigration enforcement,” according to city officials.
FBI agents were photographed at the scene.
Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., reacted to the shooting on X, blaming the Trump administration for “inflaming violence.”
“I’m monitoring the first awful reports of two people shot in Portland by federal law enforcement,” Wyden wrote in the post. “I’ll keep you updated, but Trump’s deployment of federal agents in my hometown is clearly inflaming violence–and must end.”
