When deputies arrived, they immediately rendered lifesaving aid to the victim, who was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment. Witnesses provided descriptions of the suspect, who was reportedly wearing a brown puffy jacket, orange pants, and white socks.
The story doesn’t end with the violence at the grocery store. Investigative reporter Andy Ngo revealed that Jesus Ascencio-Molina is an illegal alien from Mexico who has a long and troubling criminal history. He had previously been arrested for the attempted murder of a coworker, but the charges were dismissed by a judge.
“According to a law enforcement source not authorized to speak on record, Ascencio-Molina is an illegal Mexican national who was previously deported. He has an extensive criminal history in Oregon. Oregon is a sanctuary state, and the establishment local media has refused to report on Ascencio-Molina’s illegal status background,” Ngo reported.
The sheriff’s office corroborated that the elderly victim, despite his injuries, managed to provide vital information about the attack. “Before leaving, the victim was able to tell deputies that the suspect, who was unknown to him, approached his car while he was loading groceries when the suspect attacked him and tried to take his vehicle. When the suspect was unable to do so, he left on foot.”
Oregon’s status as a sanctuary state has drawn criticism in light of this attack. Critics argue that such policies provide cover for criminals like Ascencio-Molina, allowing them to evade federal immigration enforcement. Proponents of sanctuary policies, however, claim they build trust within immigrant communities.
This incident has fueled outrage among conservative circles, with many pointing fingers at the Biden administration’s border policies. Detractors argue that the administration’s failure to secure the border emboldens repeat offenders like Ascencio-Molina to commit heinous crimes on U.S. soil.
Residents of Clackamas County are understandably shaken. The idea that an elderly man could be violently attacked in broad daylight while performing a mundane task like grocery shopping has left many questioning their safety.

The victim, whose identity has not been released, remains in recovery. Meanwhile, Ascencio-Molina is in custody, facing a slew of charges that could lead to significant prison time.
This case highlights the intersection of crime, immigration policy, and public safety. With an illegal alien’s criminal past coming to light after such a violent act, many are calling for stricter enforcement of immigration laws and the elimination of sanctuary policies that, they argue, shield dangerous individuals.
As this story develops, it serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of failed immigration enforcement and the policies that allow repeat offenders to remain in communities, posing threats to law-abiding citizens.
