This should be a no brainer. If a local government detains an illegal alien on a felony charge, immigration officials should be called. For all of those on the left screaming about the tactics of ICE and decrying the events in Minneapolis, this is yet another example of how all of that is YOUR fault. ICE wouldn't be making these raids in Minneapolis, Los Angeles, and other "blue" cities if your party was cooperating with the federal government on this issue. Instead, you turn these people loose back into the community where they can continue to be a dangerous element on your streets harming your own voters.
SALEM, Ore. - Senate Democrats have blocked a proposal aimed at increasing cooperation between state law enforcement and federal immigration authorities. The proposal targeted illegal immigrants convicted of felony crimes.
The Oregon Department of Corrections (DOC) would have been allowed to track immigration information and coordinate with federal authorities. This would enable federal officials to decide whether to take custody of individuals after serving their sentences.
Oregon’s sanctuary state laws have limited such coordination for decades. Senate Republican Leader Bruce Starr criticized the rejection, emphasizing the importance of public safety.
"This is as common sense as common sense gets," Starr said. He expressed concern over releasing violent felons without federal notification.
