NORTHWEST East Oregonian Page 2A Friday, June 22, 2018 Washington, other states plan to sue over family separations BRIEFLY Oregon allows rancher to kill a wolf after calves attacked ENTERPRISE (AP) — Oregon wildlife managers have issued a permit that allows a rancher in Eastern Oregon to kill a wolf after three of his calves were injured by the predators last week. The Department of Fish and Wildlife said Thursday they confirmed that the calves were hurt by wolves over three days in Wallowa County. The permit allows the rancher to kill one wolf between now and July 10 on private rangeland that he leases and adjacent public land allotment. Three wolves were counted in the area last year. But state officials say it’s not clear whether they’re new to the area or remnants of the Chesnimnus wolf pack. The agency says the rancher used non-lethal methods to deter wolves, such as monitor- ing them and removing injured livestock. By GENE JOHNSON Associated Press SEATAC, Wash. — Washington, Califor- nia and at least nine other states are planning to sue the Trump administra- tion over its separation of immigrant families at the U.S.-Mexico border, say- ing the president’s execu- tive order halting the prac- tice is riddled with caveats and fails to reunite parents and children who have already been torn apart. Washington Gov. Jay Inslee and Attorney Gen- eral Bob Ferguson made the announcement Thurs- day outside a federal prison in the city of SeaTac, south of Seattle, where about 200 immigration detainees had been transferred. They include dozens of women separated from their children under the administration’s “zero tol- erance” policy of prose- cuting all migrants caught illegally entering the country. “This is a rogue, cruel and unconstitutional pol- icy,” Ferguson said. “We’re going to put a stop to it.” Immigration authori- ties have separated about 2,300 children from their parents under the pol- icy over the last several weeks, prompting global outrage as images and recordings of weeping children emerged. After falsely blaming Democrats for the sepa- rations and insisting that only Congress could fix it, President Donald Trump on Wednesday issued an executive order designed to end the practice. The order does nothing to reunite those already separated and might require families to remain in custody together longer than allowed under legal precedent, Inslee and Fer- guson said. Both Dem- ocrats, they accused the administration of deny- AP Photo/Elaine Thompson Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, right, speaks as Attorney General Bob Ferguson looks on at a news conference announcing a lawsuit against the Trump ad- ministration over a policy of separating immigrant families illegally entering the United States, in front of the Federal Detention Center Thursday, June 21. ing the parents and chil- dren due process; deny- ing the immigrants, many of whom are flee- ing gang threats and vio- lence in Central America, their right to seek asylum; and being arbitrary in the application of the policy. Confusion reigned Thursday about whether the administration intended to continue crim- inally prosecuting all ille- gal border crossers. Trump did not directly answer a question to that effect, instead saying: “We have to be very, very strong on the border. If we don’t do it, you will be inundated with people and you really won’t have a country.” The uncertainty is part of the reason legal action remains necessary, Inslee and Ferguson said. “No one knows what this administration is doing today because they don’t know what they’re doing today,” Inslee said. “These people could not run a two-car funeral.” Ferguson has filed more than two dozen lawsuits against the Trump admin- istration, most notably he successfully sued to block Trump’s initial travel ban against several mostly Muslim countries. He had planned to sue over the family sep- arations in U.S. District Court in Seattle on Thurs- day, but his office had to rework the complaint after the executive order was issued. It was expected to be filed within a few busi- ness days. Ferguson said that in addition to California, Illi- nois, Iowa, Massachu- setts, Maryland, Minne- sota, New Mexico, Oregon and Pennsylvania would join the lawsuit. New York announced a separate challenge. “Children belong with their families, not alone and fearful in metal cages,” California Attorney Gen- eral Xavier Becerra said in a written statement. “We are filing this lawsuit because ripping children from their parents is unlaw- ful, wrong and heartless.” A U.S. judge in San Diego is already consid- ering whether to issue a nationwide injunction sought by the American Civil Liberties Union that would order the adminis- tration to reunite the sep- arated children with their parents. Ferguson said his legal team spent much of Wednesday interview- ing women who remain in custody after being sepa- rated from their children. 211 S.E. Byers Ave., Pendleton 541-276-2211 333 E.

The Marion County Sher- iff’s Office says deputies arrived Wednesday night to find lifeguards and camp counselor searching the pond for 14-year- old Naomi Rudolph of Keizer. Her body was pulled from the water a short time later. Lt. Chris Baldridge says Rudolph had been working at Canyonview Camp and was swimming in her free time. He says Rudolph called for help when she began to struggle, but went under before lifeguards could reach her.

Emmanuel Kazeem, 35, who also lived in Bowie, Mary- land, was sentenced Wednes- day in Eugene. A jury previ- ously convicted him of fraud, conspiracy and aggravated identity theft. “Emmanuel Kazeem orchestrated one of the larg- est tax fraud schemes in our nation’s history. The complex- ity of this case and the incred- ible effort by law enforcement to bring those responsible to justice cannot be understated,” U.S. Attorney for Oregon Billy Williams said Thursday. An IRS criminal investiga- tion found that Kazeem pur- chased more than 91,000 iden- tities from a Vietnamese hacker that originated from an Oregon company’s private database.
