Oregon Releases Toolkit to Support Undocumented Immigrants Ahead of Federal Crackdown

The state’s attorney general introduces resources to educate undocumented residents on their rights as the incoming Trump administration plans stricter immigration enforcement.

Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum unveiled the 'Sanctuary Promise Community Toolkit,' a bilingual resource aimed at informing undocumented immigrants about their rights and state sanctuary laws.
The toolkit includes advice on handling encounters with ICE, such as not opening doors without a warrant and refusing consent for federal agents to enter homes.
Resources provided in the toolkit include a hotline to report violations of sanctuary laws, legal guidance, and community training opportunities for undocumented residents and their families.
Oregon has been a sanctuary state since 1987, prohibiting local and state law enforcement from assisting federal immigration authorities without a court order.
The move comes as President-elect Donald Trump and his incoming 'border czar,' Tom Homan, prepare for intensified deportation efforts, focusing on undocumented individuals with criminal records.
