What could a Trump administration mean for Oregon and its undocumented immigrant population? I call on Portland Mayor-elect Keith Wilson, members of the incoming Portland City Council, Multnomah County Chair Jessica Vega Pederson, and the Board of County Commissioners to formally resolve that neither the Portland Police Bureau nor the Multnomah County Sheriff will support in any manner the mass deportation of immigrants and asylum seekers that President-elect Donald Trump has promised.November 14).
Trump’s deportation strategy should not receive any local backing. Rather, Oregon officials, including the state’s congressional delegation, ought to join the National Council of Churches and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops in their opposition to mass deportations. To establish an equitable and accountable system, we require comprehensive immigration reform.
