The Oregon City Commission on Dec. 17 adopted Resolution 25-39 reaffirming the city’s commitment to the safety and dignity of immigrant residents and its compliance with Oregon sanctuary laws. City staff read the resolution into the record, which cites state statutory references and a 2021 legislative reference listed in the text of the resolution.

The resolution states the city will not use local funds, personnel, equipment or facilities for federal civil immigration enforcement except as required by a valid judicial warrant and directs the city manager to ensure policies, procedures and staff training remain in compliance with state sanctuary law. The resolution passage was unanimous. Following adoption, a commissioner asked staff to post the resolution to the city website and provide a Spanish translation; staff agreed to circulate electronic copies to commissioners.
