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.

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-

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.

pond near Silverton
SALEM (AP) — Author-
ities say a junior camp coun-
selor drowned in a pond near
Silverton.
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.

PORTLAND (AP) — A
Nigerian man who master-
minded a conspiracy to obtain
millions in refunds from the
Internal Revenue Service has
been sentenced in Oregon to
15 years in federal prison.
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.

Conspirators received $11.6
