The Department of Homeland Security says a vehicle stop in Portland, Oregon Thursday resulted in a shooting after the driver "weaponized his vehicle and attempted to run over the law enforcement agents." DHS said in a post on X that U.S. Border Patrol agents believed the passenger was a "Venezuelan illegal alien" affiliated with the Tren de Aragua gang who was also involved in a recent shooting in Portland. DHS claims the driver attempted to run the officers over, leading to an agent firing a defensive shot.        The FBI has taken sole control over the investigation into the deadly shooting of a woman by an ICE agent in Minnesota yesterday. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said it was notified that it "would no longer have access to the case material, scene evidence or investigative interviews necessary to complete a thorough and independent investigation." After the shooting, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said the woman refused commands to get out of her vehicle, and tried to harm the officer with the car.        A manhunt is underway for the person, or persons, who killed two people and injured six others outside a church in Utah. Police say a funeral was taking place at an LDS church in Salt Lake City Wednesday when an altercation broke out in the parking lot and shots were fired at a group of people. Of those injured, three are in critical condition. The names of the victims and a motive for the shooting have not been released.        Proceedings have resumed in Corpus Christi at the trial of former Uvalde ISD police officer Adrian Gonzales, but some testimony has been thrown out. Yesterday the judge denied a defense motion for a mistrial over the testimony of Stephanie Hall, a teacher at the school on the day of the attack. The defense contended her testimony on Tuesday was different from previous statements that had been given to them by the prosecution.        The House is passing legislation to extend expired ObamaCare tax credits. The bipartisan vote passed 230 to 196, with 17 Republicans crossing the aisle to join every voting Democrat in support. The move, which would extend the COVID-enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies, will now head to the Senate.        Today marks the 15th anniversary of the deadly Southern Arizona shooting at an event hosted by former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords. On January 8th, 2011, a gunman opened fire at a Tucson grocery store were the event was being held. Six people were killed, including a nine-year-old girl, and over a dozen were wounded.
