Portland DACA-recipient
detained by ICE agents
graduated from Reynolds High School
before attending Mount Hood Community
College. 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.

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

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.

BANDON (AP) — Oregon police has
released the name of the girl who died after
a waterlogged log rolled on top of her.
The Eugene Register-Guard reports that
14-year-old Aurora Sheffel was standing
on top of the log with friends at the South
Jetty Park Beach on Saturday. Shaffel was
the last one standing on the log when it
shifted in the surf and rolled.
Shaffel was the daughter of Cora and
David Wederquist of Eugene. Her parents
say the straight A student that was at the
beach celebrating spring break and her
recent selection into North Eugene High
School’s cheerleading team.
Shaffel’s relatives have set up a
GoFundMe page for funeral expenses.
Eugene School District spokeswoman
says the high school will provide support
for the students when they return to class.
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

Man linked to gun in officer’s
killing sentenced to 12 years
An article in the March 25-26 edition of the East Oregonian gave the incorrect date for Richard
Bertram’s class on hydroponic gardening at the Pendleton Center for the Arts. The class will be
held Saturday, April 29 from 9-11 a.m. The East Oregonian works hard to be accurate and
sincerely regrets any errors. If you notice a mistake in the paper, please call 541-966-0818.
— Founded Oct. 16, 1875 —
Goodding’s death. 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.
Judge: More water must be
released from dams
