A short time later, a Jackson County Sher- iff ’s Office deputy spotted a PT Cruiser on Interstate 5, approx- imately 40 miles north of the Oregon-California border, that RIGHTS from page 1A In recent years, U.S. Presi- dent Donald Trump has stat- ed his opposition to sanctuary jurisdictions — cities, counties or states that have enacted pol- icies which limit the involve- ment of local officials in the enforcement of federal immi- gration law — and said that he would cancel all federal fund- ing to them. On Jan. 25, 2017, Trump took his first action matched the description of the vehicle in the stabbing incident. Lucius was taken into cus- tody by the Jackson County Sheriff ’s Office, assisted by the Oregon State Police and the Central Point Police Depart- ment, after spike strips were used to disable his vehicle on Interstate 5 just south of where he was first spotted. Lucius was transported back to Eugene and lodged at the Lane County Jail on attempted murder, assault in the first de- gree, and strangulation. Initial investigation indicates that the victim and suspect knew each other, but the details of what led to the stabbing are still be- ing determined as of press time. “The Lane County Sheriff ’s Office would like to thank all of the agencies that assisted, including the Jackson Coun- ty Sheriff ’s Office, the Oregon State Police, the Central Point Police Department, the Flor- ence Police Department and all of the agencies that kept a watchful eye for the suspect and his vehicle prior to his cap- ture,” said Lane County Sher- iff ’s Office Public Information Officer Sgt.

This Saturday, an interfaith march, coordinated by Quak- ers from the Willamette Valley, is marching in Florence in sol- idarity with the Rural Organiz- ing Project and Oregon-based business owners that oppose the passage of Measure 105. Florence resident Nora Kent, who recently ran for a Lane County Board of Com- missions position, is the point person for the Florence March for Immigrant Rights and she is encouraging like-minded citizens to attend. “We are asking that com- munities of faith and other civic-minded folks join us in support of reuniting families, welcoming immigrants and refugees and releasing immi- grants and asylum seekers who are detained in Oregon’s Sher- idan Prison and The Dalles’ NORCOR (Northern Oregon Regional Correctional Facili- ty) jail,” Kent said. According to Kent, organiz- ers began planning the event before recent “Yes on Measure 105” political signs began ap- pearing in the area. “I think this march will send an important message to the community that we recog- nize the need to protect and care about all about all of the people in this area and in the state,” she said. A number of major employ- ers in Oregon are on record as opposing Measure 105, with Nike and Columbia Sports- wear leading the fight against the passage of the measure. Nike CEO Mark Parker re- cently wrote, “Nike employs people from all over the world; we can attest to the unique val- ue, contributions and innova- tions that people from diverse backgrounds add to Nike and to Oregon’s culture and econ- omy. Ending Oregon’s sanctu- ary law will damage Oregon’s long-standing track record as a place that attracts diverse tal- ent from across the globe.” Columbia CEO Tim Boyle also wrote in opposition to the measure. “Oregon is enriched by our diversity, and immigrants liv- ing in Oregon are part of our families, communities, work- places and places of worship. Measure 105 does not align with Oregon values,” he said. Two committees are regis- tered to support Measure 105: the Repeal Oregon Sanctuary Law Committee (ROSLC) and the Parent’s Education Associ- ation PAC. The ROSLC report- ed $357,000 in contributions and $355,587 in expenditures, including cash and in-kind donations. The largest donors include the Federation for American Immigration Re- form (FAIR) and Oregonians for Immigration Reform. The Parent’s Education Associa- tion PAC had not yet reported any campaign finance activity since it registered to support the measure on Sept. 26, 2018. Four committees are regis- tered to oppose Measure 105: Oregonians United Against Profiling, Oregonians for Sanctuary, Oregon Right to Health and Defend Oregon. In total, the opposition com- mittees raised $578,486 and spent $61,860. The largest donors include the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), ACLU of Oregon, the Oregon Education Association and the National Immigration Law Center. The Florence March for Im- migrant Rights begins at 1:30 p.m. at the United Methodist Church of Florence, located at 333 Kingwood Avenue. The Nov. 6 General Election features several measures and candidates for boards across Florence, the county and the state.
