• VIDEOS: 3rd escape in 3 years at Washington County Courthouse (forestgrovenewstimes.com) — Downtown Hillsboro has seen three escapes from the Washington County Courthouse in as many years, including a recent case where a man fled sentencing and was caught nearby at Northeast Third and Jackson. Earlier incidents triggered a two-hour manhunt and multi-agency response, raising ongoing concerns about courthouse security and public safety around central Hillsboro streets.
   

• Underground mutual aid group helps feed Hillsboro's immigrant families in hiding (opb.org) — Immigrant families in Hillsboro are staying indoors after recent ICE raids, prompting a small underground mutual aid network to quietly deliver groceries and essentials around town. Volunteers coordinate from a Hillsboro home, use code names and security measures, and now support about 60 local families each week who are afraid to shop, work, or even visit the doctor.
