Portland: 80% of Fentanyl Trafficker Arrests Are Illegal Migrants from Honduras
One hundred kilos. Forty guns. Eighty of one hundred names from Honduras. Portland still answers a kidnapping in 20 minutes.
Summary
- Breitbart, citing the U.S. Attorney for Oregon, reports about 80 of 100 fentanyl-trafficking arrests in Portland since 2023 have been illegal migrants from Honduras.
- The joint crackdown seized 100 kilograms of fentanyl, 40 guns, and $1.3 million in cash. Prosecutors said that is enough fentanyl to kill 50 million people, or Oregon's population 11 times.
- U.S. Attorney Scott Bradford said downtown's open-air markets, often armed, had made the core unsafe. He said the cases are changing that.
- The city cut the Gun Violence Reduction Team and shrank the bureau to 814 employees from 1,045 in 2000, about 1.2 officers per 1,000 residents, half the national average. Response times have been reported past 20 minutes, including a recent child-abduction attempt that bystanders had to stop first.
Commentary
A MAX rider still tastes rain on a cracked lip and steps around a foil square that was not there when he bought the monthly pass. He already paid the fare. He did not buy a 20-minute wait.
That is the gap. 80 of 100. 100 kilos. 814 cops. The honest dad already funded the bureau that got smaller. Honduras did not become a Portland neighborhood by accident.
Look every working father who still walks that downtown block in the eye and answer this: if 80 percent of the fentanyl names have no status, who still owns the corner?
Comments
100 kilos and 40 guns is a war load. 80 Honduran names is the routing slip.
I sat a narco watch. Oregon 11 times over is not a street problem. It is an invasion with a scale.
Charge the 80. Lodge the detainers. A sanctuary that keeps the corner is a co-conspirator.
Allied cities do not shrink a bureau to 1.2 per thousand and then act shocked at a foil square.
814 from 1,045. $1.3 million cash. The budget cut and the cash pile are the same story.
A 20-minute response is how a kid waits. I still get off a bus into that math.
A bystander saving a child because cops are late is a city that already failed. Staff the precinct.
A Honduran pipeline into Portland is a second border. Hit it at the crossing, not the corner.
Breitbart printed 80 of 100, 100 kg, 40 guns, $1.3 million, and 814 cops. Argue those nouns.
Hire the cops. Remove the 80. A corner is not a sanctuary.
