Oregon enacted the nation's oldest statewide sanctuary law, ORS 181A.820, barring state and local agencies from using resources to enforce federal civil immigration law.
Adopted in 1987, ORS 181A.820 prohibits state and local law enforcement agencies from using agency money, equipment, or personnel to detect or apprehend persons whose only violation of law is being present in the United States in violation of federal immigration laws. The 2021 Sanctuary Promise Act (House Bill 3265) expanded the framework, restricting information sharing with federal immigration authorities, banning courthouse arrests for civil immigration purposes, and creating a hotline for reporting violations. ORS 181A.823 and 181A.825 add reporting and enforcement provisions. Voters in 2018 rejected Measure 105, which would have repealed ORS 181A.820, reaffirming statewide sanctuary status.
Agencies that violate sanctuary statutes face civil penalties, mandatory reporting to the Oregon Department of Justice, and potential injunctive relief.
