This is Portland Police saying this, so a slightly smaller grain of salt than the Rock of Gibraltar sized one for the DHS tweet.

Male shot in the arm released to FBI custody, female shot in the chest still hospitalized and stable.

    If they were, they wouldn’t have called 911…

    So I suspect the “ties” are gonna end up something like testifying against them and getting refugee status here as a form of witness protection.

    I’d say we should wait for details, but we can’t count on local PD in a major city to be the truth tellers either.

        I was waiting on actual identification of the victims. It wouldn’t have surprised me if CBP got the wrong ID.

      “Hello, 911? Your friendly neighborhood cartel bro here. Yeah, just wanted to tell you my exact location so you can come pick me up while I’m incapacitated. No, this isn’t my burner phone, this is my regular one with the caller ID. Took out a Fed on my way down, so you might wanna send some heavily armed cops too, tee hee :3”
