Violence erupted without warning, leaving communities shaken and safety in question. In just two days, two separate incidents involving federal immigration agents turned deadly \u2014 igniting outrage, protests, and urgent calls for accountability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Portland, Oregon<\/strong>, Border Patrol agents fired during a traffic stop near a hospital, wounding two individuals.

Witnesses and community leaders insist she posed no threat, sparking weeks of protests and intensifying scrutiny of federal tactics.
