In Oregon, the governor signed a law protecting information about illegal immigrants
Oregon Governor Kate Brown has signed a law to reduce the amount of information that the state collects about people, in the hope of protecting illegal immigrants from deportation.
The new law, which entered into force immediately, still allows the local police to share information with ICE agents, if required by law, but limits the amount of information to be exchanged.
Under the new law, which was signed on Tuesday, institutions should not collect information on citizenship or immigration status, unless required by law.
The law also orders the police not to share private information in order to enforce federal immigration law.
Recall that the Trump administration more than once claimedthat US cities that will not cooperate with federal immigration authorities could lose millions of dollars in support from the US Department of Justice.
Recall that earlier the mayor of Miami-Dade County decided to obey the order of President Donald Trump, which obliges to cooperate with federal authorities in the identification and deportation of illegal immigrants.
However, the authorities of the other cities of refuge refuse from cooperation with the White House and intend to protect immigrants, guided by local laws, and may lose billions of dollars coming from the federal budget.
