STORY: Hundreds of protesters took to the streets outside a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Portland, Oregon, on Thursday (January 8), following a shooting involving a federal agent that left two people injured.

A U.S. Border Patrol agent shot and wounded a man and a woman in Portland, authorities said on Thursday, leading city and state officials to call for calm given public outrage over the ICE shooting death of a Minnesota woman a day earlier.

Tensions over U.S. President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown rose across the country on Thursday after the second shooting involving immigration officers in two days, deepening rifts between state and federal officials over how and why the shootings occurred.

In both the Minneapolis and Portland shootings, U.S. officials contend they were part of a increasing trend of criminal suspects and anti-Trump activists using their cars as weapons, though video evidence has sometimes contradicted their claims.
