Newspaper Page Text2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 2017 ‘What are you doing to get ready for winter?’ “I’m getting all of my gas appliances checked. And one needed to be ﬁ xed!” “I have a routine that I follow to get ready. I clean the gutters, wrap the pipes, put away the lawn furniture, rake the leaves …” THE DAILY ASTORIAN // QUESTION OF THE WEEK “We’re pretty much prepared all the time. We have a 100-year-old home, and it’s always drafty, so we have lots of sweaters and blankets. I like winter.” Joanne Seelig, Warrenton Carl Dominey, Astoria Dave West, Astoria Oregon sues to obtain stats on immigration arrests Several states press Trump administration By PARIS ACHEN Capital Bureau SALEM — Oregon has joined nine other states in a federal lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for failing to release public information detailing the detention and deportation of immigrants. The lawsuit, ﬁ led Tuesday in U.S. District Court for Mas- sachusetts, claims that fed- eral agencies have failed to respond to requests within a 30-day statutory deadline and are unlawfully withholding the records. “We value transparency in Oregon — and we should demand the same from the federal government,” Ore- Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum gon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum said in a statement. “Americans have the right to know how many immigrants have been arrested — and how many have been detained — and we should be able to review that critical informa- tion in an expedited manner.” A coalition of 10 attorneys general in June submitted a Freedom of Information Act request to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, U.S. Citizenship and Immigra- tion Services, and U.S. Cus- toms and Border Protection. The request sought records related to recipients of Deferred Action for Child- hood Arrivals, arrests and detentions of undocumented immigrants at certain “sen- sitive locations,” and ICE or CBP detainer requests and databases. The DACA program, cre- ated by executive order of then-President Barack Obama, allows recipients, also known as “Dreamers,” to legally work and attend school in the United States. Attorney General Jeff Ses- sions announced in Septem- ber that the Trump a dministra- tion plans to dismantle DACA in the next several months, unless Congress enacts it legislatively. Federal agents have tar- geted undocumented immi- grants at “sensitive locations” such as courthouses, schools, places of worship and hospi- tals, Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey wrote in the June request. “The president’s execu- tive orders and the steps taken by the Department of Home- land Security to implement these orders have generated new fears and uncertainties in immigrant communities across the country,” Healey wrote. “Families are afraid to send their children to school. People are avoiding necessary medi- cal treatment. Victims and wit- nesses are not reporting crimes or cooperating with state and local law enforcement.” The “chilling effect” of the new policies “undercuts pub- lic health, safety and welfare,” and the Trump a dministration’s lack of transparency surround- ing enforcement is “exacerbat- ing the fear in immigrant com- munities,” she wrote. U.S. Citizenship and Immi- gration Services conﬁ rmed receipt of the request in July . The agency noted that the statutory time limits for ful- ﬁ lling the request could not be met because of “unusual circumstances,” and said it would be necessary to extend the deadline beyond the 10 days allowed in law, because authorities would need to col- lect data from ﬁ eld ofﬁ ces. The lawsuit claims fed- eral agencies have not denied the request but have withheld details on circumstances that prevent the disclosure. They also have failed to provide con- tact information for their FOIA liaisons to discuss the request or timeline for fulﬁ lling it, according to the complaint. The states sought the infor- mation because the federal government has intensiﬁ ed immigration enforcement and expanded “the scope of peo- ple targeted for enforcement,” according to the complaint. For example, arrests of immi- grants have increased nearly 40 percent in just the ﬁ rst four months of 2017, according to an ICE report. “It is critical for … states to understand the nature of fed- eral immigration enforcement activities and the effects of these activities on the residents and law enforcement agencies of the respective states,” the complaint states. The other states joining in the lawsuit are Massachusetts, California, Hawaii, Iowa, Illi- nois, Maryland, New York, Washington and the District of Columbia. Oregon, along with several other states, sued the Trump a dministration in September to save DACA. That complaint alleges dismantlement of the program represents a viola- tion of the e qual p rotection clause of the Constitution by discriminating against DACA recipients of Mexican origin. So-called “Dreamers” from Mexico make up 78 percent of DACA recipients.
