Advocates for immigrant rights in Oregon plan to ask a state committee Friday to approve a rule banning U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from making wholesale arrests of immigrants at or around the states courthouses.
Upset over immigration arrests at courthouses has flared since Donald Trump was elected president. Within days of Trump taking office in January 2017, advocates for immigrants began reporting some highly public arrests or attempted arrests by ICE agents who were wearing plainclothes and offered little or no explanation.
Advocates say the arrests have had a chilling effect on immigrants who now fear stepping foot into courthouses to conduct a wide range of business, including paying parking tickets, filing for restraining orders, testifying as a witness or even facing criminal charges.
According to the ACLU of Oregon, six states -- California, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, New Mexico and Washington -- have limited or blocked ICE agents from making arrests in courthouses.

I don’t think that we should be arresting Illegal and Criminal Alien Invaders. Just shoot them and be done with it.

So can states really tell federal law enforcement they can’t make an arrest there?
To: jazusamo
I think that President Trump needs to find a legal loophole that lets the victims of illegal alien violence sue the illegal aliens employers and any law enforcement agency that defied an ICE detainer and released and illegal alien who then goes on to commit violent crimes.

I thought Oregon was in the US and US laws apply to it also.

I’d bet that would be a deterrent.

"I thought Oregon was in the US and US laws apply to it also."BWAHAHAHAHA!!!
Oh dear, that IS funny. Wear a red hat, in Portland or Salem. Doesn't matter what is on it. Could be the Marine Corps emblem. You will either have to shoot, or run, and you can't shoot...
Until the Corps re-invades, and shoots all the traitors, IE, every one of the ruling cabal, Oregon is enemy territory.

RE:”

Does that work for the IRS?

Laws change to Rules when they do not benefit from the law.
