(Salem, OR) -- Twenty of Oregon's 36 counties are supporting a federal lawsuit filed by Marion County that questions how the state's sanctuary laws interact with federal immigration rules. The lawsuit seeks clarification on whether the county can release parole records of four undocumented immigrants to federal agents after ICE issued subpoenas in August. Marion County argues that Oregon's sanctuary law conflicts with both state public records law and federal law. The counties signed a letter backing the suit but are not joining the litigation. The Oregon State Sheriff's Association has also expressed support, with 34 sheriffs calling for similar legal clarity.
