Six protesters arrested in Portland after two people shot by border patrol agents

"Killings" is inaccurate, but it's their headline. Hey! They fixed the headline! Man was shot in the arm (or maybe the leg? Reports vary.) Woman shot in the chest. Both survived and were hospitalized but their conditions have not been reported.

Mayor Wilson nails it:

Portland’s mayor, Keith Wilson, said at a news conference: “We know what the federal government says happened here. There was a time when we could take them at their word. That time is long past.”

“We cannot sit by while constitutional protections erode and bloodshed mounts. Portland is not a ‘training ground’ for militarized agents, and the ‘full force’ threatened by the administration has deadly consequences. As mayor, I call on ICE to end all operations in Portland until a full investigation can be completed.”

@jordanlund that seems like the problem
