Your Friday evening update on Salem news
Good evening, Salem.
Two cities in Oregon this week have declared a state of emergency over federal immigration arrests. Woodburn city councilors did so at a special meeting Friday, pledging $30,000 to assist people and businesses affected by immigration arrests. Hillsboro councilors acted Tuesday.
Salem’s leaders so far haven’t considered that action. But councilors will vote Monday, Nov. 24, on a resolution indicating support for the state’s sanctuary law.
That comes after the Salem Democratic Socialists of America and Latinos Unidos Siempre announced protests at the meeting. They’re calling on the council to do more to protect residents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrests.
On Veterans Day, the agency arrested 26 people in Salem suspected of being in the country without legal status, using tactics that witnesses said included breaking the windows of a vehicle of farm workers on their way to work.
We’ve got more on the council’s proposal below, and we’ll cover the meeting Monday night.
