In Portland, two people were shot by federal agents, and the story is far from clear. The police chief mentioned that the two individuals, Luis David Nino-Moncada and Yorlenys Betzabeth Zambrano-Contreras, might be linked to a Venezuelan gang called Tren de Aragua. However, he didn't say they were definitely involved in any crimes. Zambrano-Contreras was arrested before for prostitution, and Nino-Moncada was there when the police searched her place. The district attorney's office said she is also involved in a human trafficking case, but it's still ongoing. Nino-Moncada has a record too, with a DUI charge from last year.
The federal government says the shooting happened because Nino-Moncada tried to run over the agents with his car. But the defense attorney for Nino-Moncada says the government is just making excuses. He thinks the agents acted recklessly and without proof. Both Nino-Moncada and Zambrano-Contreras are in the hospital and expected to recover. The FBI is investigating, but it might take a while to get all the facts. Meanwhile, people in Portland are upset and protesting. The police chief asked everyone to stay calm and peaceful. This whole situation is complicated, and it's important to wait for the full story before jumping to conclusions.
