The DOJ charged the Venezuelan illegal alien accused of driving into Border Patrol agents in Portland, OR.
Luis Nino-Moncada faces charges of aggravated assault of a federal officer with a deadly or dangerous weapon and depredation of federal property in excess of $1,000.
(As soon as I can get the complaint, I will attach it and expand more on it.)
Both Moncada and the alleged prostitute, later identified as Yorlenys Betzabeth Zambrano-Contreras, were hospitalized with gunshot wounds.In a later interview with the FBI, Moncada “admitted to intentionally ramming the Border Patrol vehicle in an attempt to flee, and he stated that he knew they were immigration enforcement vehicles,” according to the charging documents.Zambrano-Contreras also crossed the border illegally under the Biden administration and was required to check in with ICE after she was released, but never did, according to the charging documents.She was allegedly involved in a shooting on July 7 tied to a bad prostitution deal. Before the shooting, Zambrano-Contreras called Moncada “to pick her up” and then contacted “a friend … who always carried a gun.”The friend, who is identified as “Alex,” showed up at the scene with several other men who proceeded to break into an apartment where the alleged customer was holding the alleged prostitute’s earnings and belongings.
An agent fired a defensive shot because he feared for his life.
KPTV reported that a man and woman with gunshot wounds were found about six minutes after the 911 report. They were taken to a hospital.
Both have been released from the hospital and remain in federal custody.
There is no video of the attack and shooting.
“There is no body worn camera footage from the involved six Border Patrol Agents capturing the above-described events. Investigators have scoured the area and social media in an effort to find surveillance footage, but to no avail,” the FBI agent said in the complaint. “The fixed surveillance cameras in the area of this parking lot, according to the business, did not capture footage of this event.”
Attorney General Pam Bondi released photos of the damaged Border Patrol car.
“Anyone who crosses the red line of assaulting law enforcement will be met with the full force of this Justice Department,” said Bondi. “He should NEVER have been in our country to begin with, and we will ensure he NEVER walks free in America again.”
