Some Washington sheriffs refuse
to enforce new gun restictions
Jail’s contract with ICE does
not violate sanctuary law
Legal test in
Wasco County
By CONRAD WILSON
Oregon Public
Broadcasting
A Wasco County judge
ruled Friday an Oregon
jail’s contract with U.S.
Immigration and Customs
Enforcement does not vio-
late the state’s so-called
sanctuary law — but some
of the jail’s practices do.
A group of Wasco
County taxpayers fi led a
lawsuit in 2017 arguing the
Northern Oregon Regional
Corrections Facility in
The Dalles — known as
NORCOR — was violating
Oregon’s 31-year-old sanc-
tuary law, in part because
of the jail’s contract with
ICE.
The ruling is the fi rst
aimed at defi ning Oregon’s
sanctuary law, which lim-
its how much local law
enforcement can cooperate
with federal immigration
offi cials.
The ruling is a signifi -
cant blow to immigration
activists, who turned to the
courts as they try to force
NORCOR to end its con-
tract with ICE.
Oregon’s sanctuary law
states that law enforcement
can’t use local resources to
detect or apprehend peo-
ple whose only violation is
being in the United States
in breach of federal immi-
gration laws.
“NORCOR is not appre-
hending, arresting, or seiz-
ing federal detainees or
inmates as those terms are
commonly used or within
their ordinary meaning,
nor are NORCOR’s actions
for the purpose of appre-
hending,” Judge John Wolf
wrote in his ruling.
He added that ICE
detainees “have been

apprehended, arrested or
seized by ICE prior to
arriving at NORCOR.”
That argument is what
NORCOR has claimed
since the lawsuit was fi led.
“On the central and pri-
mary issue in this case,
the court has ruled that
NORCOR’s
contract
with the federal govern-
ment does not violate state
law,” said Derek Ash-
ton, NORCOR’s attorney.
“Today’s decision ensures
that critical funding source
will remain in place.”
NORCOR is the jail for
Hood River, Wasco, Sher-
man and Gilliam counties
and relies on its ICE con-
tract to offset a recent dip
in tax revenue. For years,
ICE has paid the jail $80
per detainee, per day. In
some fi scal years that’s
translated to $800,000 of
the operating budget.
ICE did not immedi-
ately comment Friday.
SPOKANE, Wash. —
Sheriffs in a dozen Washing-
ton counties say they won’t
enforce the state’s sweeping
new restrictions on semi-au-
tomatic rifl es until the courts
decide whether they are
constitutional.
