Oregon voters will decide fate of state’s controversial sanctuary law


Voters in Oregon are about to weigh in on one of the most controversial topics of our time. Ballot Measure 105 would repeal the country’s oldest sanctuary state law, passed almost unanimously in Oregon in 1987. It bars local police from using resources to enforce immigration law. “It’s also about a law that we passed 31 years ago that has been working really well for us.”But 16 sheriffs from across Oregon say the law is not working. But citing the sanctuary law, Multnomah County Sheriff Mike Reese ignored the detainer request and released Martinez, even though he had already been deported 13 times.
