Immigration Resources
Below are some resources that can help with any of your immigration-related needs.
Oregon is a Sanctuary State. What exactly does that mean?
Oregon’s sanctuary status means that state and local government, including police, cannot help enforce federal immigration laws without an order signed by a judge.
In Oregon, our laws state that everyone can live, work, play, go to school, report a crime to police, go to court, and access government services without fear that a state or local government employee will report you to ICE. If you suspect a violation of these laws, you can report to the Sanctuary Promise Hotline.
What steps is the David Douglas School District taking to protect our students?
DDSD will not provide assistance to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in
the enforcement of federal civil immigration laws. ICE will not be permitted access to DDSD
facilities or personnel except in the rare instances in which DDSD is provided with a criminal
warrant.
