A statement regarding President Trump's actions in Venezuela: "President Trump’s action of deposing a foreign head of state is an illegal act of war and conquest."
A statement regarding President Trump's actions in Venezuela:

"President Trump’s action of deposing a foreign head of state is an illegal act of war and conquest. It is the result of a presidency left unchecked by a congress that no longer knows how to exercise its own powers and ignores actions so flagrantly illegal that there is no rational justification for their complacency. The statement that the United States will 'run' Venezuela is an act of imperialism so brazen that puts even Vladamir Putin’s Russia to shame. Congress MUST act. This type of action cannot be allowed on the international stage."

This week, we’re in trial in the district court putting on evidence showing that the federal government’s deployment of National Guard is unlawful and unnecessary. Here's what happened on day 1 and what's next:
Lawsuit update re: National Guard in Portland

Trial, day 1: 
Law enforcement witnesses describe “startling” tactics from ICE officersWhat happened: 
Wednesday 10/29 through Friday 10/31, we’re in trial in the district court putting on evidence showing that the federal government’s deployment of National Guard is unlawful and unnecessary. 

On Wednesday, our witnesses - entirely local and state law enforcement officers in uniform - described how federal agents at the ICE building used “startling” excessive force and testified that local law enforcement was sufficient to handle 
any criminal activity. What's next: 
Thursday will mostly consist of the federal government’s case, including witness testimony from DHS and ICE officials. We will cross-examine those witnesses.

We’ll continue to make our case that National Guard deployment in Oregon is unlawful and unnecessary - and we’ll continue to share updates as we have them.

A statement from the Executive committee of the Benton County Democrats regarding Trump's illegal order to deploy troops to Portland. 🤬

The President has illegally ordered the Military into Portland in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act and authorized them to use the "full force" of the military. These troops are not needed. They are not wanted. This deployment is illegal and will cost taxpayers millions of dollars for what is either a political stunt or an attempt at a Federal takeover.

This is not normal.

Over the last decade, Oregon has been the testing ground for far right action that is then exported to the rest of the country, from the Malheur Refuge takeover, to clashes with Proud Boys, to disgraced Rep. Mike Nearman letting people into to the State Capitol in a precursor to January 6th.

Let us show the rest of the country how to stand up to fascism. Stand up for our Democracy both in Oregon and the country. Stay peaceful. Don't stay silent.

Trump is not a King

If you can’t oppose ICE on humanitarian grounds, what if they damage the economy? The White House’s arbitrary 3,000/day immigrant arrest quota means pain for hardworking immigrants and pain for the economy.

The Executive Committee of the Benton County Democrats strongly condemns the actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Corvallis on the morning of September 3rd.
The Executive Committee of the Benton County Democrats strongly condemns the actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Corvallis on the morning of September 3rd.

 

These actions are not about enforcing the law, they are about creating an environment of terror and fear, especially among communities of color. When anyone can be picked off the street in an unmarked car by unidentified persons, no one is safe. We commend the Corvallis Police Department for responding to this action as a kidnapping, and encourage all local law enforcement to continue to do so if ICE returns to our communities.

 

If you see ICE agents, or individuals posing as ICE agents, in Benton County please contact the Portland Immigrant Rights Coalition (PIRC) at 1-888-622-1510. If you want to learn about your rights under immigration law, please contact the Equity Corps of Oregon (ECO) at 1-888-274-7292.

 

We stand with our community against this federal overreach and campaign of terror.
