West.
The Lane County Sheriff ’s
Office alerted law enforcement
agencies south of Eugene and
into California. A short time
later, a Jackson County Sher-

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. Carrie Carver. “It
is because of partnerships like
these that the suspect was lo-
cated and taken into custody so
quickly.”
The investigation is still on-
going as of press time Tuesday.
Anyone with information about
the above incident is asked to
contact Lane County Detective
Silano at 541-682-4312.

individuals who pose a threat

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.
