Immigration enforcement

Oregon lawmakers have approved a bill that would require schools to provide notice when ICE officers are spotted on campus.

House Bill 4138 would require officers to clearly display their name or identifying number, their agency and their badge. The bill also limits the use of facial coverings that conceal a person’s identity, with a few exceptions.

Several bills take aim at the Trump administration’s immigration efforts.

To align with changes to state law, the new policies must be in place by March 1.

The bill would require health care facilities to monitor federal immigration officers and exclude them in some situations.

One bill requires schools and colleges to create an immigration enforcement alert system. The other bans schools from discriminating against students based on immigration status.

A federal judge on Monday blocked a California law from going into effect that would ban federal immigration agents from covering their faces, but they will still be required to wear clear identification showing their agency and badge number.
