The” Sanctuary Promise Community Toolkit,” a tool created by Oregon’s top law enforcement official, was released to assist people in updating their knowledge of the Beaver State’s relevant regulations. ” Every person has the right to live, work, play, and study carefully in Oregon, time”, Oregon Democratic Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum said in a speech announcing the kit. In 1987, Oregon legislators passed then-Rep. Rocky Barilla’s HB 2314 in response to numerous raids by Openings – the U. S. Immigration &, Naturalization Service, which transformed into USCIS, DHS and ICE in 2003. The country’s first” shelter state” policy is generally regarded as the law. Oregon’s position in that respect was expressly acknowledged by the law prohibits state and local law enforcement assets from being used to detain suspects who are only accused of being present in the United States without paperwork. A press release from the attorney general’s office noted Barilla’s bill passed “nearly unanimously” in 1987 but that by 2024, sanctuary laws have become an “intensely partisan issue”. ” I asked my Civil Rights Unit here at the Oregon DOJ to do whatever we could to provide the people, businesses, and local governments of our state with easy-to-read materials to help them know their rights and educate others, and I’m so pleased with what they’ve put together”, Rosenblum said in her statement. In the toolkit, documents relating to the 1987 law’s passage are available for easy public consumption, along with a” conversation” with figures involved in getting the law passed. The toolkit includes a number of FAQs, including “how do I get ready for encounters with ICE or other federal immigration authorities”? –” Is there a place I can go to report ICE or other federal immigration authorities in my community right now?” and” After an encounter with ICE or other federal immigration authorities, what information should I write down” ?Oregon also hosts a statewide “hotline” to report sanctuary law violations. There are also links to press coverage, as well as a separate “law enforcement bias response” toolkit. Watchdog asks Oregonians to discuss the situation with their families in the coming weeks, “know your rights… and make a plan for what to do if immigration officials come to your home or place of business.” ” Knowing your rights in advance is essential”, she said. President-elect Trump tapped former ICE Director Thomas Homan as his “border czar” – succeeding Vice President Kamala Harris. The FOX News app is available at this link.
