Portland Mayor: “Portland Stands with Minnesota” After Deadly ICE Shooting

Statement from Portland Mayor Keith Wilson

"Portland stands with you, Minnesota. I warned Homeland Security leadership that their actions constituted a disaster in the making. Yesterday's horrific loss of life is the direct consequence of ignoring that warning. Make no mistake, this death was entirely preventable.

I deplore the callous, sickening rhetoric administration officials used to defend the indefensible and call for swift accountability. Elected officials cannot sit by while constitutional protections erode and bloodshed mounts. ICE agents and their Homeland Security leadership must be fully investigated and held responsible for their violence against the American people, in Minnesota, in Portland, and across the nation."
