The Portland Police Bureau said it would not be cooperating with any federal agencies, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement, in potential immigration raids promised by President Donald Trump this weekend, the agency said Sunday.
State law prohibits local law enforcement agencies from using “agency moneys, equipment or personnel for the purpose of detecting or apprehending persons whose only violation of law is that they are persons of foreign citizenship present in the United States in violation of federal immigration laws."
Portland police chief Danielle Outlaw said there were numerous factors causing fear in Oregon’s immigrant communities.
"Now more than ever it is important to understand and recognize the uncertainty and fear for many in our immigrant communities, not just around immigration enforcement efforts, but also hate crimes," she said in a statement. "Members of the Police Bureau continue our outreach efforts to build relationships, especially in communities that may be distrustful of police."
Trump tweeted earlier this week that the raids, which had been scheduled and cancelled two weeks ago, would commence this weekend.
At the request of Democrats, I have delayed the Illegal Immigration Removal Process (Deportation) for two weeks to see if the Democrats and Republicans can get together and work out a solution to the Asylum and Loophole problems at the Southern Border. If not, Deportations start!
The raids would target roughly 2,000 people who had ignored final deportation orders in major cities like Chicago, Los Angeles, New York and Miami, according to the Associated Press .
Despite the fact that Portland has not been mentioned in potential cities that could see raids, Outlaw sought to reassure those who might fear Portland police were working with federal immigration officials.
“We want everyone in our community to feel safe and protected,” she said, “which is why it is important to understand PPB's role and the laws related to immigration enforcement."
“Portland police chief Danielle Outlaw” Are you joking? Outlaw is an outlaw. You can’t make this stuff up.
Isn’t Portland the city in which the police are handcuffed by antifa thugs?
They are most likely getting federal funds for law enforcement.
Yank the funds.
This has been going on in Portland since the Portland 8 hiding out at Intel.
Law enforcement and Oregon State blocked the investigation and even said it was a racist investigation.
Turned out to be real terrorists who had infiltrated Intel under H1b program.
A Dyke?
The hell with arresting illegal aliens - when will these SCOFFLAWS/TRAITORS be arrested?
Arrest these “American” outlaws who FLOUT the law in the open!
Go for it “Outlaw”, with the new data sharing being put in place we can see who is in your fair city and how you and your ilk are in defiance of Federal law.
You will look snappy in an Orange jump suit making new friends in prison
Yep, that is a real fiasco.
I would not say that the police are handcuffed by the antifa thugs. But I will say from what I have seen, the police protect the antifa thugs. And the entire police organization including the Mayor are involved. It will continue until the good people get tired of getting their brains beat out. Them they will stop it.

Cut off all funding and cooperation until they are no longer in a state of insurrection.
If they persist, send in the national guard and arrest them for aiding and abetting federal fugitives.
I would think they would due to disobeying a direct order, especially in this PD.
Portland police are little better than mall cops at this point.
I was under the impression that Police Officers swore an oath to enforce the laws of said State and the ordinances of said City before being assigned to Patrol. If that is the case, then the Police Officers of the City of Portland have for damn sure violated that oath. Their sacred word means nothing. But there are those that love them.
Portland police chief Danielle Outlaw.... You can't make this crap up. It looks like another Juicy Smellit SJW type with affirmative action that paved the way for it to have become police chief. Hell this one has the black card and most likely the tranny card. Was Portland always this screwed up?
Portland police need to be in prison.
Chicago, Portland...
Hope there is a plant to play hardball with these subversives.
It’s hard to believe the administration didn’t anticipate this.
This is were the rubber meets the road, Mr. President. Give ‘em hell.
They probably forfeit their pensions. Or at least that’s what their told.
