Sheriff's Request Immigrant Law Clarity
(Salem, OR) -- Almost all of Oregon's Sheriffs are asking the state and federal governments to provide clarity on immigration law. Thirty-four of the state's 36 sheriffs signed a letter asking whether local governments who receive federal subpoenas are allowed, under Oregon's sanctuary laws, to turn over parole-related records of alleged undocumented immigrants convicted of serious crimes. They say uncertainty from conflicting laws is bad for everyone. The letter was sent to the U-S Attorney General and Oregon's Attorney General.
