SALEM, OR- The State of Oregon’s Department of Administrative Services, in open defiance of the Federal government under the newly inaugurated administration of President Donald Trump, is reportedly conducting mandatory staff training for all 11,000 of its employees calling upon them not to cooperate with Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE). This move was justified in the trainings under the state’s “sanctuary laws” which forbid state and local law enforcement as well as government employees from assisting federal officials on immigration matters.
As reported by The Post Millennial, the Oregon employees were urged via email to complete an online training entitled “Oregon’s Sanctuary Promise,” training them to recognize behavior that would “violate the law,” in the state should they be approached by ICE.
The email from Oregon’s Deputy Director of Administrative Services Debbi Dennis obtained by the outlet read in part:
"A new training will be assigned to you in Workday (starting Friday, Jan. 17) and I want to explain its importance and the timeline for completing the training. The title of the training is Oregon Sanctuary Promise and it covers Oregon's laws relating to our status as a 'sanctuary state.' Many of you know that Oregon was the first state to pass a law (in 1987) prohibiting state and local police and government from helping federal authorities with immigration enforcement."

…. On 60 minutes tonight they had two separate Economists. One who was optimistic about tariffs, as well as other plans, all working together to improve the economy. The second economist was pessimistic about tariffs, not working to improve the economy…… To me, that means the answer is somewhere in between, and anything we can do to be more accepting of each other’s different ideas maybe the better off we can be at finding the middle ground towards steady improvements.
