Portland’s police chief broke down in tears Friday while confirming that two illegal immigrants shot by a federal agent had suspected ties to the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, KGW News reported.
Police Chief Bob Day said the two suspects wounded in a U.S. Customs and Border Protection encounter had a “nexus” to the gang, backing up a Department of Homeland Security statement released earlier in the day.
“They do have some nexus to involvement with TDA. We can confirm that,” Day said, pausing as he choked up during a news conference.
