Judge: BLM broke law in plan
to sterilize Idaho wild horses
BOISE, Idaho (AP) — The U.S. Bureau of Land
Management violated environmental law in its plan to
sterilize a herd of wild horses in southwestern Idaho,
according to a recent ruling from a federal judge.
U.S. District Judge Edward Lodge ruled Friday the
BLM failed to analyze consequences of the action and
ordered the agency to reconsider its decision.
“The BLM’s decision in this case is arbitrary and
capricious because it did not consider the significant
impacts its decision may have on the free-roaming nature
of the herd nor explain why its decision is appropriate
despite those impacts,” Lodge wrote in his 44-page ruling.
The American Wild Horse Preservation Campaign and
two other groups who filed the lawsuit had also argued the
BLM adopted a plan that failed to protect wild horses.
However, Lodge said he wouldn’t rule on whether
or not the BLM violated the Wild Free Roaming Horses
and Burros Act. Instead, he instructed the BLM to better
articulate its reasoning for using sterilization.
ACLU sues PeaceHealth, says it didn’t
cover transgender care
SEATTLE (AP) — A longtime worker for a Catholic
health care system in the Northwest sued the organization
Thursday, saying its employee insurance plan refused to
cover gender-reassignment surgery for her teenage son.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Washington
filed the discrimination lawsuit against PeaceHealth in
federal court on behalf of Cheryl Enstad of Bellingham
and her son, Paxton Enstad, 17. She said she and her
husband eventually took out a second mortgage and
dipped into Paxton’s college fund to pay more than
$10,000 for his surgery last fall.
“PeaceHealth was telling me my son was undeserving
of medical care simply because he’s transgender,”
Cheryl Enstad told a news conference Thursday. “It’s
heartbreaking. It is not fair.”
The lawsuit cites violations of the federal Affordable
Care Act as well as Washington state anti-discrimination
law.
PeaceHealth is a nonprofit based in Vancouver,
Washington, and operates 10 medical centers in Oregon,
Washington and Alaska. A statement issued by the
company did not address whether its self-funded health
plan for employees covers gender reassignment surgery.
A PeaceHealth spokesman, Jeremy Rush, said he was
seeking more information about its policies and what
happened in the Enstads’ case.

Effort to repeal new Oregon gun law fails
By ANDREW SELSKY
Associated Press
SALEM (AP) — An
effort to repeal a new Oregon
law that enables a court
to order confiscation of a
gun belonging to a person
deemed at risk of suicide or
hurting others has failed, its
organizers said Thursday,
after they failed to get
enough signatures to place it
on the ballot.
Rep. Mike Nearman, a
Republican from the town
of Independence who was
the chief petitioner, blamed
Democratic Gov. Kate
Brown, saying her delay in
signing the bill weeks after
it was passed by the Legisla-
ture gave too little time to get
enough signatures.
Petitioners had 90 days
from the end of the Legisla-
tive session, which was July
7, to get the signatures but
couldn’t begin to gather them
until the governor signed the
bill, which was Aug. 15. The
opponents said they collected
fewer than 25,000 signatures
of the 58,142 they needed by
Thursday.
The gun bill was champi-
oned by another Republican
member of the Legislature,
Sen. Brian Boquist of Dallas.
In advocating for the bill
on May 1, he said it was
aimed at preventing suicides
among military veterans.
A former Special Forces
officer, Boquist cited the high
number of suicides among
veterans. His own stepson,
a Navy veteran, committed
suicide in 2016.
“In Oregon, on average
it’s 150 veterans a year who

commit suicide,” Boquist
said.
The new law creates a
process for a law enforce-
ment officer or a household
member to obtain an
“extreme risk protection
order” that prohibits a person
from possessing a deadly
weapon when a court finds
that person is at risk of
suicide or harming someone
else.
The court would issue
a statement telling the
person: “You are required to
surrender all deadly weapons
in your custody, control or
possession. You may not
have in your custody or
control, purchase, possess,
receive, or attempt to
purchase or receive, deadly
weapons while this order is
in effect.”
State Sen. Ginny Burdick,
D-Portland and a chief
sponsor of the bill, called the
repeal campaign’s failure “a
victory for Oregon.”
The new law “will help
prevent suicide and other
dangerous behavior,” she
said.
Last November, voters in
Washington state approved
a measure to reduce gun
violence by taking firearms
away from people who are
found by a judge to be a
danger to themselves or
others. Boquist used that
law as a model for the bill in
Oregon.
