Oregon Senate Votes This Week on Expanding Dangerous Sanctuary Law
The Oregon Senate might attempt to jam through so-called "emergency legislation" to expand Oregon's dangerous sanctuary law this week before it adjourns -probably THURSDAY! We need your help right now to stop them.
Sanctuary policies prohibit or restrict law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration officials, allowing criminal aliens to live and work freely in communities. House Bill (HB) 3464 worsens Oregon's existing sanctuary law to make it nearly impossible for state and local law enforcement to cooperate with federal immigration officials and allows criminal aliens, even those convicted of the most serious crimes, to escape immigration enforcement.
Please call or email your State Senator right now and tell him/her to oppose this dangerous expansion of Oregon's sanctuary policies!
H.B. 3464 prohibits state and local officials from disclosing the immigration status of individuals they encounter thereby prohibiting cooperation with federal officials in the enforcement of immigration law. The Senate should not prioritize the interests of those with no legal right to remain to the detriment of Oregonian citizens. Public safety must be the top priority and HB 3464 moves Oregon in the wrong direction.
Take Action Today
Please call or email your Oregon State Senator and tell them to oppose HB 3464!
