Fox News: Oregon could start allowing its law enforcement officers
to cooperate with federal immigration officials if voters choose to
repeal its sanctuary status in November.
A measure to repeal the so-called sanctuary state status – which
regulates how much local law enforcement officials can help federal
immigration authorities – will be on the November . . . .
ballot, The Oregonian
reported.
Oregon has been a sanctuary state since 1987, making the law the
oldest in the nation. It prohibits law enforcement agencies from using
“agency monies, equipment or personnel for the purpose of detecting or
apprehending persons whose only violation of law is” that they are in
“violation of federal immigration laws.”
