Idaho dairy group opposes
immigration detention contract
Amanda Cowan/The Columbian via AP
The tower at Portland International Airport is barely visible through the haze
as Marina Vanegas stretches out in the cool waters of Wintler Park in Vancou-
ver, Wash., with four-legged friend, Onyx, on Thursday. Vanegas and Onyx were
relaxing in the water while waiting to meet up with family members at the
popular spot along the Columbia River.
Northwest heat wave continues
The sun sets
over the Olympic
Mountains, made
a brilliant red
because of smoke
from fires raging in
British Columbia
that swept down
into the Puget
Sound region,
Wednesday in
Seattle.
TWIN FALLS, Idaho
(AP) — An Idaho dairy
group has sent a letter to
Jerome County commis-
sioners in opposition to
a pending contract that
would lease out space in the
county’s new jail to U.S.
Immigration and Customs
Enforcement.
Idaho Dairymen Associa-
tion Executive Director Bob
Naerebout told the Capital
Press that many dairymen
are concerned with the
possibility of losing workers
in south-central Idaho with
the increased ICE presence.
Because
the
dairy
industry does not qualify
for the H2-A or other visa
program, it cannot bring in
foreigner workers. A signif-
icant portion of working
Hispanics in the area arrived
without legal work status,
according to Naerebout.
Workers fear ICE agents
“will be looking for them”
and some have already left
their jobs because, with the
looming ICE jail contract,
they feel they are no longer
“This is not
a contract that
is needed.”
— Bob Naerebout,
Idaho Dairymen Associa-
tion Executive Director
safe, Naerebout said.
The Idaho Dairymen
Association’s letter to the
commissioners asks them
to consider the families
that could be split up if ICE
presence increases in the
community. The Idaho Milk
Processors Association has
also joined the dairymen
group in their stance against
the contract.
Under
the
pending
contract with ICE, the new
Jerome County jail would
set aside 50 beds for ICE
at a rate of $75 per bed per
day, estimated to bring in an
additional $1.34 million to
the county annually.
A copy of an ICE memo-
randum given to the news-
paper by the Jerome County
Sheriff’s Office states that
no on-site ICE compliance
personnel would be housed
at the Jerome facility. It also
states that the county would
provide the personnel and
services for the detentions,
including escort and trans-
port of detainees.
ICE
spokeswoman
Virginia Kice stated in an
email to the newspaper that
federal regulations prevent
the agency from talking
about any potential deten-
tion contracts.
Although the contract
could bring in a substantial
amount of money to the
county, Naerebout contends
that it will be offset by the
loss Hispanic workers.
Naerebout
cited
an
economic analysis by the
University of Idaho which
showed that even a 1 percent
decrease in milk processed
in a local market for cheese
alone could lead to an
annual $27 million loss in
local revenue.
“This is not a contract
that is needed,” he said.

BRIEFLY
Washington: 14 have life
without parole for crimes
committed as minors
OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — In Wash-
ington state, the Department of Corrections
says 14 inmates are still serving life
without parole for crimes committed while
they were juveniles.
Seventeen others have been resen-
tenced, and two received new life-with-
out-parole terms.
Before 2014, juvenile offenders were
treated the same as adults and would
automatically get life without parole for
first-degree murder.
In 2014 and 2015, state lawmakers
revised a statute to include specific
sentencing instructions for 16- and
17-year-old offenders convicted of
aggravated first-degree murder to ensure
that mitigating factors be considered.
The Legislature also allowed all those
convicted before turning 18 and sentenced
to 20 or more years in prison to petition for
release after 20 years.
The Associated Press is reviewing
juvenile life without parole in states after
recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions.
Crews respond to central
Washington brush fire
MABTON, Wash. (AP) — Multiple
fire agencies were battling a brush fire in
central Washington.
The Yakima Herald-Republic reports
that the blaze about 10 miles south of
Mabton was estimated at between 8 and 10
square miles.
Yakima County Fire District No. 5, the
Bureau of Land Management, Mabton
and Yakama Nation firefighters were
among those fighting the fire, which began
Sunday evening.
SALEM (AP) — A
Republican lawmaker from
the mountain town of Bend
announced his candidacy for
governor Thursday, aiming
to unseat Democratic Gov.
Kate Brown in 2018.
Rep. Knute Buehler said
on Twitter he is “ready to
bring change with educa-
tion, budget and economic
reforms.”
He told editors of The
Bulletin, Bend’s daily news-
paper, on Wednesday that he
planned to announce he was
running. A website has also
been activated asking for
donations of as little as $10
and beyond $1,000. Buehler
said retirement pay formulas
should be reworked in the
pension system for state
employees, which has been
draining state coffers, and
the level of health care
payments reformed.
The Senate Republican
Office this week said the
state’s pension debt has
surged to $52 billion.
“Oregon’s ticking time
bomb known as PERS is on
the brink of exploding,” the
Republicans said, referring
to the Public Employees
Retirement System.
The Legislature is domi-
nated by Democrats. The
highest GOP state official
is Secretary of State Dennis
Richardson, who occupies
the second-highest office in
the state.
Brown sprung to the
governorship from that
position in 2015 when
then Gov. John Kitzhaber
resigned amid a state ethics
investigation into alleged
influence-peddling by his
fiancee. Brown beat oncol-

ogist Bud Pierce, the GOP
candidate, by 7 percentage
points in the election last
November to serve out the
remaining two years of
Kitzhaber’s term.
Buehler, an orthopedic
surgeon, would need to win
the Republican primary to
run for the state’s highest
office in November 2018.
