The Ministry of Internal Security has published the list and declared that each court will receive an official opinion of non-compliance.
Portland, Oregon. – The Trump administration has published a list of “jurisdictions of the sanctuary” which it accuses of challenging the federal immigration law by hampering the deportation efforts carried out by immigration and the application of customs (ICE). The list Posted on the website of the Ministry of Internal Security includes Portland, Beaverton, Eugene and Hood River, as well as 15 counties from Oregon and The state itself.
The full list includes cities and counties of 35 states and the Columbia district, appointing more than 500 jurisdictions in total. Some of the 35 states are also qualified as sanctuary jurisdictions at the level of the government government, while others have cities or counties on the list, but are not themselves qualified as sanctuar jurisdictions.
The exact criteria of inclusion on the list are not clear, because it leaves aside certain cities of Oregon which have adopted resolutions of the sanctuary and also understand certain counties which have not done so, including some of the generally conservative parts of the State such as the counties of Harney, Union and Union and Umatilla.
The DHS web page said that announcements are determined by “factors such as compliance with federal police, information restrictions and legal protections for illegal foreigners”.
Similar strange inclusions have aroused criticism across the country, as in Huntington Beach, California, which appears on the list despite the fact that the city adopted a resolution which specifically declared that it was a “non -sanctuary city”. The mayor of Huntington Beach qualified the inclusion of the city a serious mistake.
The CEO of the National Sheriff’s Association qualified the list as “mortally” and criticized the lack of transparency and clear criteria for inclusion.

The list was published Thursday and follows from a executive decree President Donald Trump issued on April 28, who ordered the Krisi Noem internal security secretary and the Attorney General Pam Bondi to work together to develop the list within 30 days and to keep him informed after the publication.
The DHS web page and an agency press release The two indicate that each jurisdiction of the list will receive “an official notification of its non-compliance with federal laws”, adding that the DHS “requires that these jurisdictions examine immediately and revise their policies to align themselves with federal immigration laws”.
The web page does not mention any consequences for non-compliance, but the executive decree of April 28 mentions that the courts which do not change their policies after being warned could face a loss of federal funds or legal proceedings, although it is not more specific than that.
Oregon has the oldest law of the sanctuary at the level of the state in the country, adopted in 1987. It prohibits governments of states and premises to help the federal application of immigration without an order of a judge. The state strengthened these protections in 2021 and deployed a Sanctuary Promise Community Toolkit About a month before Trump returned to the White House.
Portland and several other Oregon cities and counties have adopted resolutions declaring itself with sanctuary jurisdictions, in many cases in the first mandate of Trump – although the law of the state applies to all the cities and counties of Oregon anyway. The mayor of Portland Keith Wilson reiterated his support For city policy when he took office earlier this year.
The jurisdictions of the sanctuary were criticized immediately during the second term of Trump; The decree of April 28 was preceded by an order of January 20 which also ordered the Attorney General and the DHS to reduce federal funding or to continue legal action against the courts of the sanctuary.
This order sparked a trial led by the city of San Francisco and the County of Santa Clara in California, which was quickly joined by other local governments across the country, including Portland.
Meanwhile, three women Congress of Oregon and Washington made an unexpected trip to the North West detention center in Tacoma on Friday. The Maxine Dexter representative of Oregon joined the representative of Washington, Emily Randall, and the Pramila Jayapal representative on what the trio described as a surveillance visit, declaring that they are concerned about ice targeting labor leaders in immigration raids.
Earlier this month, a similar visit to an installation of the New Jersey ended with arrest of the mayor of Newark and an American representative. Until now, the accusation of intrusion against the mayor has been abandoned, but a accusation of attack Against the representative remains in place.
