A couple was shot in Portland after an incident in which they allegedly attempted to hit a federal agent with their vehicle

Federal leaders, by contrast, defended the enforcement campaign and rejected calls to scale it back. Vice President J.D. Vance delivered a forceful response Thursday night, sharply criticizing media coverage that portrayed Renee Nicole Good as an innocent bystander. Vance accused left-wing activist groups of employing what he called “domestic terror techniques” to obstruct federal law enforcement, including blocking vehicles, doxing agents, and provoking confrontations. He argued that such actions endangered officers and the public alike and said the administration would no longer tolerate political interference with immigration enforcement. Framing the campaign as a mandate from voters, Vance insisted that the federal government would continue to enforce immigration law aggressively, even as investigations into the shootings in Minneapolis and Portland move forward and the nation braces for the possibility of further confrontations.
