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

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

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.

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.

like a waist of time.”
“We are forever grate-
ful for Aaron’s time and ser-
vice on the Astoria Parks
and Recreation Board,” said
Norma Hernandez, board
president, in a statement.
“We will miss the sound of
his motorcycle pulling up to
our 6:45 a.m. board meet-

his frozen hair during the
winter.”
“May his family be
warmed by the thoughts and
prayers of our board and the
impact he had on our com-
munity through his service

Astoria Parks and Recre-

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. Like this one: “Raisin

from the parks department
at a City Council meeting
Monday night and noted
that Crockett’s “warm, wel-

be greatly missed.” He
“brought with him an ener-
getic, youthful vitality that
helped bring new perspec-
tive into our board.”
T. Paul’s hosted a fund-
raiser for Crockett in April to
help him cover his expenses
when he had to go to Port-

heart condition. Now, the
