President Donald Trump wants cities to force treatment on people with severe mental illness or addiction who are living outside. An executive order signed late last week aims to remove “vagrant” individuals from streets across the country and place them in long-term institutional settings to “restore public order.”

Officials at Providence Health and Services have agreed to return to negotiations with a union representing nearly 5,000 nurses across eight hospitals statewide.

Portland has joined at least four other cities and counties in a lawsuit against the Trump administration's threat to pull federal funding from jurisdictions with sanctuary laws that limit cooperation with immigration officials.
