Oregon's Sanctuary Promise Law

It is against Oregon law for public agencies (including school districts) in the state of Oregon to participate in immigration enforcement without a warrant, order, or subpoena issued by a court. In general, requests made by federal immigration authorities to state and local enforcement and government agencies regarding immigration enforcement must be documented, reported, and denied. 

The term "sanctuary" might be perceived as protection from deportation, and it is important to communicate the limitations of the law. Federal immigration authorities like ICE can and do operate in Oregon. Oregon's sanctuary laws do not stop deportations or federal prosecutions for immigration-related crimes in Oregon.
