Sanctuary state Oregon rolls out program to help illegal migrants thwart ICE: ‘Do not open the door’:

The lefty attorney general of Oregon has rolled out a new program to help illegal migrants in the sanctuary state thwart ICE ahead of President-elect Donald Trump’s promised mass deportations.

Ellen Rosenblum’s recent new guide, titled the “Sanctuary Promise Community Toolkit,” offers advice to illegal immigrants on what to say and do if ICE or other immigration authorities show up.

For the question, “How do I prepare myself and my family for encounters with ICE?” the answer includes legal guidance from the American Civil Liberties Union: “do not open the door, ask to see a warrant signed by a judge, tell them you do not consent to them being at your home and tell them please leave.”

In answer to the question, “Is there a place I can call to report ICE or other federal immigration authorities active right now in my community?” the Oregon Department of Justice lists contact information for local nonprofits that work to warn migrants about federal operations.

There are also multiple sections on how to report anyone who is suspected of violating Oregon’s sanctuary law and working with federal immigration authorities.

One section advises locals that they can sue any state or local agency that they suspect of violating sanctuary law.

However, the “Sanctuary Promise” guide admits that state laws can only do so much: “The outcome of a state investigation or a private civil suit does not change a deportation order, or any other decision/action by the federal courts or federal immigration authority to prosecute or remove a person from the United States.”

“Every person has the right to live, work, play, and learn safely in Oregon, period,” said Rosenblum when her office released the anti-ICE info. —>READ MORE HERE

Oregon AG rolls out sanctuary information for immigrants before Trump takes office:

Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum rolled out a toolkit on Wednesday so immigrants in Oregon can protect themselves and know their rights under the first-in-the-nation state sanctuary law that has been in place since 1987.

Rosenblum’s release of the toolkit in English, Spanish and other languages is intended to inform immigrants as Oregon braces for likely increased federal immigration activity after President-elect Donald Trump takes office in January. Trump has pledged mass deportations of undocumented residents but it’s unclear how widespread it will be beyond people with criminal records. Oregon has an estimated 108,000 undocumented residents, according to the nonpartisan Migration Policy Institute.

“I recommend having conversations with family members in the next several weeks to know your rights, understand what protections Oregon’s sanctuary laws provide and what they do not provide, and make a plan for what to do if immigration officials come to your home or place of business,” Rosenblum said in a statement.

Oregon sanctuary laws restrict state and local government, including police agencies, from helping enforce federal immigration laws without a signed court order. Federal immigration agencies can still operate in Oregon. But state laws restrict state and local funding, facilities, equipment and personnel from assisting them without a court order. The Sanctuary Promise Community Toolkit covers details in the law and people’s rights. For example, the instructions tell immigrants that if federal immigration officials are outside their doors, they have the right to not open the door and can ask to see a warrant signed by a judge.

The toolkit, available online, includes brochures, posters and public service announcements in English, Spanish and five indigenous languages: Mam, Mixteco Alto, Mixteco Bajo, Kʼicheʼ and Purépecha. Additionally, the toolkit links to ACLU Know Your Rights videos in English, Spanish, Urdu, Arabic, Haitian Creole, Russian and Mandarin. —>READ MORE HERE
