Agent’s Claim vs Forensic Evidence | Portland News

A Border Patrol agent in Portland shot two immigrants inside a truck in January, claiming he feared for his life as the vehicle charged toward him. But a forensic report contradicts that, showing the truck wasn’t moving toward the agent when shots were fired — aligning with evidence like broken glass. The driver, Luis Niño-Moncada, admits he’s in the country illegally and has already served time; he’ll be released soon, likely facing deportation. While the government insists the chaotic scene justified the officer’s actions, the report casts doubt on whether the agent was truly in danger — leaving the core question of why he fired still hotly debated.
