📰 News we're reading

• Gresham Mayor: ‘We are a nation of laws. We are a nation of immigrants' (portlandtribune.com) — Cornelius is among several Oregon communities that have already declared a state of emergency in response to federal immigration enforcement actions, a step Gresham is now debating. Gresham’s mayor and state lawmakers are weighing how to balance immigrant protections, public safety, and federal law, while outlining current limits on cooperation with ICE and new “Know Your Rights” efforts. This broader regional response could influence how Cornelius continues handling similar concerns.
