Asylum-seeking mothers beginning
to be released in Washington State
gration jail in Tacoma, on
Friday — seven weeks after
she crossed the border ille-
gally in Hidalgo, Texas.
Another was released Mon-
day and three more on
Wednesday, the organiza-
tion said.
Padilla’s attorneys told a
news conference Wednesday
her 6-year-old son remains
in federal custody in New
York, and it’s unclear when
the government will release
him to her. They declined to
provide further details about
Padilla’s background, citing
the sensitivity of her asylum
case.
“Now that I’m free,
I don’t understand why
they’re not returning him, or
why I can’t go pick him up,”
Padilla said. “He’s starting
to get restless, because he
expects me to go to get him,
but that hasn’t happened and
we don’t know when it will.
The last time we spoke, the
call ended in tears.”
SEATTLE — Some asy-
lum-seeking parents who
have been detained in Wash-
ington state after being sep-
arated from their children
have started to be released
from custody, advocates said
Wednesday, but it remains
unclear when they might
see their sons or daughters
again.
The Northwest Immi-
grant Rights Project in
Seattle said it knows of
55 people detained at the
U.S.-Mexico border before
being separated from their
children and transferred to
Washington under President
Donald Trump’s zero-toler-
ance policy.

BEAVERTON
(AP)
— Beaverton police have
arrested a man after wit-
nesses say he shouted racial
slurs at a 17-year-old black
girl and threatened to hurt
her.
Police said Wednesday
that 37-year-old Samuel
Harris Corbett was arrested
on charges of intimidation,
menacing, disorderly con-
duct and harassment after
the Monday incident.
Authorities
say
the
bystanders kept Corbett
away from the teenager,
who took shelter in a nearby
AM/PM store until police
arrived.
A victim’s advocate is in
contact with the teen and her
family.

PORTLAND (AP) —
Portland’s police oversight
agency has launched a probe
into how officers interact
with homeless people fol-
lowing an analysis by a
newspaper.
The Oregonian/Oregon-
Live found that one in two
arrests made by Portland
police was of a homeless
individual while less than 3
percent of city residents are
considered homeless.
Constantin Severe, direc-
tor of the Independent Police
Review, says Police Chief
Danielle Outlaw directed
the police bureau to ask the
oversight agency to conduct
an investigation based on the
newspaper’s reporting.
A police spokesman
says the chief requested
the review after the Ameri-
can Civil Liberties Union of
Oregon called on the city to
inquire about profiling.
Mayor Ted Wheeler
says he wants to know how

PORTLAND (AP) — A
64-year-old man has been
sentenced to more than 30
years in prison after a sexual
assault kit linking him to a
2011 rape emerged from the
backlog.
The
Oregonian/Ore-
gonLive reported Tues-
day that Curtis Clint Wil-
liams is the first defendant
in Multnomah County to be
found guilty by jury since
police and prosecutors have
started working on clearing
the backlog of thousands of
untested sexual assault kits.
Williams was accused
of raping a 19-year-old
woman in 2011 after meet-
ing her near a TriMet ticket
machine. The woman told
police Williams invited her
to his apartment where he
raped her.
Her sexual assault exam-
ination kit was tested in
2011 and the DNA on the kit
matched Williams.
Williams is scheduled to
go to trial for a second attack
later this month.
Police oversight

Portland arrests

the families this week to
meet the first of two dead-
lines set by a federal judge
in San Diego who ordered
thousands of children be
given back to their parents.
Scores of children sepa-
rated from their families at
the border were sent to gov-
ernment-contracted shelters
or foster care hundreds of
miles away from where their
parents were detained.
Padilla’s son, Jelsin, has
been in foster care in New
York — where exactly is
unclear, but Sanchez said
she was told the home is
about a 20-minute drive
from the Bronx, where he
has been attending school at
the Cayuga Center for trou-
bled youth.
Padilla is a named plain-
tiff in a class-action lawsuit
the Northwest Immigrant
Rights Project has filed
challenging the family sep-
arations. U.S. Immigration
and Customs Enforcement
has declined to comment on
her case.
One of her attorneys,
Leta Sanchez, said author-
ities have been demanding
that Padilla go through sev-
eral hoops before she and
the boy are reunited. Those
include a background check
and resubmitting finger-
prints, even though immi-
gration officials have repeat-
edly taken her fingerprints
since her detention.

SALEM (AP) — Ore-
gon State Police arrested a
man accused of threatening
to kill people at Oregon Lot-
tery headquarters.
The agency said an email
sent to the lottery office
in Salem on Tuesday con-
tained a threat to shoot peo-
ple. Within hours, detec-
tives arrested 42-year-old
Jason Ouellette at his home
in Lebanon, Oregon.
Police
spokeswoman
Mindy McCartt said Ouel-
lette was “recently unlucky
at the lottery,” and did not
target specific employees in
the email. Police have to say
if they seized firearms at his
home.
He was charged with
menacing — a misdemeanor
— and released from jail
because of overcrowding. It
was not immediately known
if he has retained an attorney
or will be appointed one at
his first court appearance.
Yolany Padilla, an asylum seeker separated from her 6-year-old son as part of the Trump Administration’s “zero
tolerance” policy, smiles as she talks about her child at a news conference Wednesday in Seattle. Padilla was
released on bond from the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma on July 6. Her son is in federal custody in
New York.

many of the arrests were
in response to complaints
as opposed to interactions
started by officers.
