A couple was shot in Portland after an incident in which they allegedly attempted to hit a federal agent with their vehicle
According to the Department of Homeland Security, Good was affiliated with “ICE Watch,” a network of activist groups that monitor, track, and attempt to disrupt immigration enforcement in sanctuary cities. DHS officials said Good had followed ICE agents to multiple locations on the day she was killed and was attempting to block a roadway when the fatal confrontation occurred. A video of the incident shows an agent attempting to open Good’s car door before the vehicle accelerates, followed by another officer firing multiple shots at close range. DHS characterized the incident as a necessary response to a credible threat to officer safety, citing prior incidents in which agents were injured after being dragged by vehicles during enforcement actions.
Political reaction to the two shootings has been swift and sharply divided. Portland Mayor Keith Wilson condemned the shooting in his city and called for an immediate suspension of federal immigration operations there. He warned that constitutional protections were being eroded and that the use of force by federal agents was placing residents in danger. Wilson argued that Portland should not be treated as a testing ground for militarized enforcement and accused the administration of escalating tensions without regard for community safety. His comments echoed broader concerns voiced by local officials in other sanctuary cities, who have criticized federal raids as destabilizing and inflammatory.
