Senate Bill 293 is making its way through the Oregon legislature. It's designed to get more Native Americans into medical careers in tribal communities across the state.

Supporters and opponents of a proposed expansion of Oregon’s Death With Dignity Act spoke out at a hearing at the state capitol Tuesday. 

Men are dying after opioid overdoses at nearly three times the rate of women in the United States. Overdose deaths are increasing faster among black and Latino Americans than among whites. And there's an especially steep rise in the number of young adults ages 25 to 34 whose death certificates include some version of the drug fentanyl.

Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum, along with the Democratic Attorneys General Association, visited Tijuana, Mexico, Wednesday morning to witness the work of Al Otro Lado.

The nonprofit legal service provider works with asylum-seekers on the Mexico side of the border, handing out information to people affected by what Rosenblum calls the "Turnback Policy."

“There’s a policy, a terrible Trump administration policy called the Turnback Policy, which is unlawfully denying individuals access to asylum, to the process of asylum at ports of entry,” Rosenblum said.
