Oregon Fights Federal Cuts To Crime Victim Services

(Salem, OR) -- Oregon is joining 19 states in a lawsuit to block new restrictions on federal funding used to support crime victims, including survivors of domestic violence. New rules take effect October 31st barring states from using federal grant money to provide services to victims who can't prove their legal status in the country. Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield argues the policy is unconstitutional and notes many providers don't have the resources necessary to be able to screen victims.
