(Portland, OR) -- Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield is joining 21 other states in suing the Trump administration over the withholding of federal funds for crime victim services. The lawsuit challenges new conditions that tie Victims of Crime Act grants to state cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, a requirement Oregon's sanctuary law prohibits. Advocates warn the loss of 15-million dollars in funding next year could shutter shelters and resource centers across the state. State officials argue the administration is overstepping its authority by placing political conditions on funds that Congress never approved.
