2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, MAY 8, 2018 Regional jail changes immigration detainer policy Change came after lawsuit was settled By CONRAD WILSON Oregon Public Broadcasting The Northern Oregon Regional Corrections facility in The Dalles no longer hon- ors detainers from U.S. Immi- gration and Customs Enforce- ment for people entering the jail on local charges. The jail, known as NORCOR, officially changed its policy last month after set- tling a lawsuit with a Hood River man who said officials violated his constitutional rights. NORCOR is one of at least Conrad Wilson/Oregon Public Broadcasting NORCOR is a cinder block jail surrounded by a high chain-link fence and razor wire in an industrial section of The Dalles. two jails the state that house ICE detainees. That’s despite a 30-year-old state law that limits local law enforcement agencies from assisting fed- eral immigration agents. The policy change and lawsuit show that until recently, NORCOR also hon- ored ICE detainers, despite Astoria man accused of rape An Astoria man has been arrested for allegedly committing numerous sex crimes against three females. Larry Leach, 47, has been charged with five counts of first-de- gree rape, seven counts of first-de- gree sex abuse and two counts of Larry Leach website, the jail will con- tinue to house ICE detainees, for which it’s paid $80 per day, per detainee. NORCOR essentially serves as an over- flow facility for ICE, which houses most immigration detainees in the Pacific North- west at the Tacoma North- west Detention Center. What’s changed is the practice surrounding peo- ple who come into the jail on local charges. Now the jail no longer accepts ICE detainers for them. It’s not clear how wide- spread the practice was at the jail. NORCOR updated its website to reflect the new policy: “Effective April 2, 2018, NORCOR no longer accepts detainers for local detain- ees,” the website states. “This means that these individuals will be allowed to post bail and be released pursuant to their state court stipulations and conditions. Therefore, if a detainee has finished their sentence, been released by the court, or posted bail, they will not be held past their release.” NORCOR administrator Bryan Brandenberg wasn’t available for an interview. But in response to questions about what the new policy means he replied in an email, “It means what it says.” Under its old policy NORCOR sent ICE the names, dates and places of birth and a list of charges for some individuals that were booked into the facility. Seaside man arrested for assault using a child in a display of sexual conduct. Leach was indicted on the charges in early April. He was arrested on an Astoria police warrant and trans- ferred from New Mexico to the Clatsop County Jail, where he was booked Monday night. A court date has not been set in Leach’s case. By JACK HEFFERNAN The Daily Astorian a 2014 federal court ruling that found that ICE detainers did not provide independent authority to jails to hold peo- ple past the time when they should have been released on their local charges. A detainer is a request from U.S. Department of Homeland Security to a jail to keep someone in custody for up to 48 hours until ICE can come get the person. The correctional facil- ity is about 80 miles east of Portland and serves as the regional jail for four neigh- boring counties: Gilliam, Hood River, Wasco and Sher- man. It also houses detainees in ICE custody that federal immigration officers bring to and from the jail. According to NORCOR’s By JACK HEFFERNAN The Daily Astorian Andres Peon De La Cruz A Seaside man was arrested Monday after allegedly proposi- tioning a woman for sex and then assaulting her. Andres Peon De La Cruz, 31, allegedly grabbed a woman by her shoulder in an attempt to compel her to have sex. He then allegedly pushed her down a hill. Once she reached the bottom of the hill, he allegedly began assaulting her. Seaside police arrested him just after 2 a.m. Monday near Avenues G and S. De La Cruz has been charged with second-degree kidnapping, fourth-degree assault, patroniz- ing a prostitute, menacing and harassment.

Over Astoria Parks and Recre- ation Board member Aaron Crockett died on Saturday due to health complications tied to advanced congestive heart failure. Crockett, originally from Big Rapids, Michigan, joined the parks board in 2016 and worked at T. Paul’s Supper Club in Astoria as a bartender and server. He was an avid runner, a famil- iar figure on local trails and at local races, but was just as well known for his love of puns.
