Because there may be concern and uncertainty amongst many of our citizens, we want to acknowledge our awareness of an immigration enforcement action conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) within city limits. We recognize that this activity may raise questions and concerns among members of our community, and we want to clarify the City’s role and responsibilities. Oregon has been a sanctuary state since 1987. Under Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) 181A.820 through 181A.829, state and local governments are generally prohibited from using public funds, personnel, equipment, or other resources to assist with federal immigration enforcement, subject to limited exceptions established by law. While ICE has federal authority to conduct immigration enforcement activities, the City of Coos Bay and its Police Department operate in accordance with Oregon law and do not independently enforce federal immigration laws. The City’s responsibility is to provide public services, protect public safety, and serve all members of our community fairly and respectfully, regardless of immigration status. We recognize that immigration enforcement can generate differing perspectives and concerns. Regardless of those differences, the City remains committed to upholding the law, maintaining public trust, and serving everyone who calls Coos Bay home. -Joe Benetti, Mayor of Coos Bay
