He works for Latino Network, coordinating a food pantry for low-income families at Reynolds Middle School. Dominguez entered into and completed a DUI diversion program last December. The ACLU says ICE determined that a misdemeanor DUI is enough to end his DACA status. Mat dos Santos, legal director for the Oregon ACLU, said in a news release that the events represent a “disturbing and confusing action taken by ICE.” Dominguez’s detainment is the latest in a series of immigration raids by ICE agents in Oregon since President Trump took office. By KIMBERLEY FREDA Oregon Public Broadcasting PORTLAND — The ACLU of Oregon says Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents detained a man at his Southeast Portland home Sunday morning. Francisco Rodriguez Dominguez, 25, has been part of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival program — or DACA — since 2013. DACA allows people who entered the country as minors to receive a renewable two-year period of deferred action from deportation. The ACLU says Dominguez arrived in the United States when he was five and EO Media Group file photo Under House Bill 3116, ungraded eggs could be sold at Oregon roadside stands, farmers’ markets and other direct marketing venues as long as they’re labeled as such and are examined with a candling light for inner defects. BRIEFLY Bill would remove Oregon egg-grading requirement Direct-to-consumer sales of ungraded eggs already common By MATEUSZ PERKOWSKI Capital Bureau SALEM — Eggs that haven’t been graded for size or quality are commonly sold directly to consumers in Oregon, but the custom doesn’t strictly adhere to state law. Though the Oregon Department of Agri- culture isn’t likely to drop the regulatory hammer on ungraded eggs, proponents of farm-to-consumer marketing nonetheless want to reconcile the statute with conven- tion. Under House Bill 3116, ungraded eggs could be sold roadside stands, farmers’ markets and other direct marketing venues as long as they’re labeled as such and are examined with a candling light for inner defects. “This is closing the gap between the intent of the law with real world practice,” said Lynne Miller, a small egg producer from Benton County, Ore., during a March 27 legislative hearing. Ungraded eggs haven’t caused food safety problems in Oregon and would still be subject to temperature controls and other regulations, said Rebecca Landis, policy PORTLAND (AP) — A federal judge in Oregon says that beginning next year, the government must spill more water from dams on the lower Columbia and Snake rivers to improve the chances that protected salmon will survive. U.S. District Judge Michael Simon said in a ruling Monday that the salmon continue to be imperiled and that the Army Corps of Engineers must spill more water for the fish at eight dams. However, he declined to require the corps to do so immediately, as conservationists requested. Instead, he told the government to spend the next year studying how best to release the right amount of water without created strong eddies or other conditions that could wind up endangering the fish further. Conservationists say the extra water will help young salmon migrate out to sea. Simon is the same judge who last year urged the government to consider breaching the four dams on the Lower Snake River. adviser for the Oregon Farmers’ Market Association. Grading isn’t required by federal law and grade standards developed for chicken eggs aren’t applicable for farmers who sell duck or turkey eggs, she said. Unless they’re following very exacting recipes, consumers generally aren’t troubled by the lack of uniformity in cartons of ungraded eggs, Landis said. “The size differences are not considered a minus,” she said. The bill is intended to prevent a burden on small egg producers, in light of the Oregon Department of Justice advising ODA that ungraded egg sales aren’t currently allowed, said Rep. Pam Marsh, D-Ashland, who sponsored HB 3116. “It adds unnecessary complexity to the process,” she said. Enforcing the grading requirements isn’t a priority for ODA, but HB 3116 would clarify state policy regarding egg sales, said Stephanie Page, the agency’s food safety and animal health director. Direct marketing is valuable for small and mid-sized farms in Oregon, which is among the top 10 states in farm-to-consumer sales, which generate about $44 million annually, said Ivan Maluski, policy director for the Friends of Family Farmers nonprofit, citing USDA data.

PORTLAND (AP) — A felon whose pistol was used in the February 2016 slaying of an Oregon police sergeant was sentenced Monday to 12 years in federal prison. Jamie Lee Jones, 45, apologized at the federal courthouse in downtown Portland, saying never in his wildest imagination did he think his actions would play a role in the killing of Seaside Police Sgt. Jason Goodding. “It’s a nightmare that haunts me every day,” he said. “My heart goes out to the family, it truly does.” Jones pleaded guilty in December to gun-and-drug charges not tied to Corrections 211 S.E.

Other charges were dismissed in a plea agreement, including allegations that he threatened witnesses to keep them from cooperating with investigators after Goodding was shot underneath his ballistic vest while trying to make an arrest in downtown Seaside. Goodding’s fellow officer returned fire, killing Phillip Ferry, a 55-year-old transient and drug user. Investigators linked the gun to Jones by happenstance the following morning. Police responded to Jones’ house on a noise disturbance and noticed a round of ammunition on the ground. It was the same brand used to kill Goodding. Prosecutors said Ferry stole the gun while Jones was sleeping. When Jones awoke, he became enraged after noticing the pistol was gone as well as some methamphetamine. He punched a drug customer and fired a gun in the direction of several others.
