Read this in English: Information on ICE Raids in Oregon

2 de Marzo de 2017- Control de acciones de Inmigración, conocido como ICE, confirmó que ellos condujeron una redada en Woodburn, una ciudad de Oregon predominantemente Latina. De las personas detenidas, al menos 4 no tenían antecedentes criminales ( récord). Los oficiales de ICE reclaman que ellos estaban buscando a alguien en particular cuando ellos pararon dos vehículos con trabajadores rurales, pero nosotros deberíamos ser muy escépticos. Esta es una débil excusa para violar los Derechos constitucionales.

La Constitución garantiza derechos básicos fundamentales para todas las personas en los Estados Unidos. Esto aplica durante las acciones de ICE. Las redadas de Inmigración violan frecuentemente la Constitución. Por ejemplo, los agentes de ICE se involucran en conductas prohibidas cuando ellos toman como blanco para sus acciones vecindarios y lugares de trabajo predominantemente Latinos; cuando entran sin consentimiento o sin orden de cateo a los hogares;cuando presionan a personas muy asustadas a someterse a interrogatorios sobre su ciudadanía y estatus migratorio.

La Constitución asegura protección igualitaria y tratamiento justo bajo la ley a toda la gente, sin importar el color de su piel o acento. Lucir o sonar “extranjero” no es suficiente para justificar la captura de una persona para investigación inmigratoria.

Si la gente observa acciones ejecutadas por ICE, pueden usar su teléfono o una cámara para documentarlas, igual como pueden documentar cualquier actividad de las fuerzas de la ley. Testigos de las acciones de ICE pueden reportarlas a: ACLU de Oregon, línea urgente por medio de texto o llamada al (971-412-2258). Por acciones en el área de Portland, usted debería contactar la Coalición Portland por Derechos de Inmigrantes, línea urgente al: 1-888-622-1510.

Anteriormente, la ACU de Oregon pidió a la gente ser cautelosos antes de compartir sus historias en los medios sociales, mientras los incidentes eran verificados. Ahora que ICE está operando con toda su capacidad en Oregon, nosotros necesitamos hacerlos responsables. Ponga fotos y vídeos de las acciones de ICE usando el hashtag # OregonICEwatch y haga tag ACLU de Oregon ( Facebook) o @ACLU_OR ( Twitter). Nosotros planeamos usar esa información para seguir la actividad de ICE a través de todo el Estado.

Lea en Español: Información sobre las redadas de ICE en Oregon 

March 2, 2017 - Immigration and Customs Enforcement, known as ICE, confirmed that they conducted a raid in Woodburn, a predominantly Latino town in Oregon. Of the people detained, at least four had no criminal record. ICE officials claimed they were looking for someone in particular when they stopped two vans of forest workers, but we should be very skeptical. This is a flimsy excuse for violating constitutional rights.

The Constitution guarantees core basic rights to every person in the United States. This applies during ICE enforcement actions. Immigration raids frequently violate the Constitution. For example, ICE agents engage in prohibited behavior when they selectively target predominantly Latino neighborhoods and work sites; enter people’s homes without proper warrants or consent; or coerce frightened individuals to submit to interrogations about their citizenship and immigration status.

The Constitution ensures equal protection and fair treatment under the law to all people, regardless of their skin color or accent. Looking or sounding “foreign” is not enough to justify seizing a person for immigration investigation.

If people observe ICE enforcement actions, they can use their phone or a camera to document it, just as they can document any law enforcement activity. Witnesses to ICE activity can report it to the ACLU of Oregon's immigration hotline via text or call at (971) 412-ACLU or (971) 412-2258. For actions around Portland, you should also contact the Portland Immigrant Rights Coalition hotline at 1-888-622-1510.

Previously, the ACLU of Oregon asked people to pause before sharing their stories on social media while incidents were verified. Now that ICE is operating in full force in Oregon, we need to hold them accountable. Post pictures and video of ICE enforcement actions using the hashtag #OregonICEwatch and tag ACLU of Oregon (Facebook) or @ACLU_OR (Twitter). Download the Mobile Justice Oregon app to automatically upload video of law enforcement activity in Oregon to the ACLU of Oregon. We plan to use this information to track ICE activity throughout the state.

April 12, 2017 — The American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon (ACLU of Oregon) and American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) affiliates in Colorado, Idaho, Wyoming, and Alaska filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit today against the regional U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) office in demanding government documents about the on-the-ground implementation of President Trump’s Muslim bans.

Today’s action is part of a total of 13 FOIA lawsuits filed by ACLU affiliates across the country. The ACLU of Oregon lawsuit is seeking records from U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Portland Field Office. In particular, the lawsuit seeks records related to CBP’s implementation of President Trump’s Muslim bans at Portland International Airport, Denver International Airport, Ted Stevens International Airport, Boise International Airport, Casper/Natrona County International Airport and at port of entry offices in Anchorage, Denver, Boise, Portland, Casper.

The ACLU first sought this information through FOIA requests submitted to CBP on February 2, 2017. Since the government has failed to substantively respond, the ACLU is now suing.

“Oregonians have been cut off from their families, friends, and business associates by President Trump’s Muslim bans and the chaotic implementation that followed,” said Mat dos Santos, ACLU of Oregon legal director. “Portland International Airport is our gateway to the world and we deserve to know how the executive orders have been carried out here.”

“CBP has a long history of ignoring its obligations under the federal Freedom of Information Act — a law that was enacted to ensure that Americans have timely access to information of pressing public concern. The public has a right to know how federal immigration officials have handled the implementation of the Muslim bans, especially after multiple federal courts have blocked various aspects of these executive orders,” said Mitra Ebadolahi, Border Litigation Project Staff Attorney with the ACLU of San Diego and Imperial Counties. 

Each lawsuit seeks unique and local information regarding how CBP implemented the executive orders at specific airports and ports of entry in the midst of rapidly developing and sometimes conflicting government guidance. 

The coordinated lawsuits seek information from the following local CBP offices: Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, Portland, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, Tampa, and Tucson.
