Major props to Democrats this week.

14. From Jeff Merkeley this morning

--I will continue to work with the Oregon delegation in the House and Senate to make sure that ICE and the Trump Administration are held accountable.

--I’ll keep working to pass the Preventing Authoritarian Policing Tactics on America’s Streets Act to require federal military and law enforcement agents to display identifying information: their agency and name or badge number.

--I’ll fight to pass the Restoring Access for Detainees Act to guarantee people have the right to call family and an attorney when detained.

--I will continue to hold ICE accountable for their attempts to mine DMV data to target our communities and ring the alarm bells on the Trump Administration siphoning money meant for veterans to prop up their cruel immigration agenda.

-- My team and I will continue to work around the clock to reunite Oregonians who have been kidnapped by ICE with their families.

And above all: ICE needs to end its dangerous enforcement operations in Oregon now. I will keep demanding that.

I know folks are angry. I’m furious. I urge you to take care of one another and to continue to speak out peacefully. Calm and non-violent protest is a hallmark of our democracy, and your voice is a powerful tool.

I’ll keep ringing the alarm bells on Trump’s authoritarianism and keep fighting to stop federal agents from attacking our communities.
