Oregon Courts Craft Guidelines to Balance Sanctuary State Laws with Trump’s Immigration Crackdown Prompted by Wisconsin Judge’s Arrest for Allegedly Aiding Immigrant’s Evasion of Federal Agents News By Lucille McNamara On May 19, 2025 FILE - Oregon Supreme Court Building - October 2024 | Photo by Seth Smigelski The Oregon Judicial Department and Chief Justice Megan Flynn are investigating appropriate guidelines for courts following the recent arrest of a Wisconsin judge for allegedly helping an immigrant evade federal agents. The guidelines will hopefully help courts navigate dealing with arrests in terms of the Trump administration’s hard line approach to illegal immigrants while remaining compliant with Oregon law that forbids cooperation on immigration enforcement as a sanctuary state. There are existing instructions for employees at the Multnomah County Circuit Court in Portland on how to handle the arrival of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. The agents are not allowed to enter non-public areas, and any requests for information must be sent to the unit manager of the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office.   Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested by FBI agents on 25 April for allegedly assisting an immigrants to evade arrest by federal agents. She was indicted last week and pleaded not guilty to charges of federal obstruction. Share Twitter Facebook ReddIt WhatsApp Pinterest Email
