The Oregon Secretary of State's office announced that Initiative Petition 22 (IP 22), an anti-sanctuary initiative, will be on the November ballot, after garnering 111,000 signatures -- 22,816 more than the needed 88,184 signatures to secure a place on the ballot. The petition was championed by Stop Oregon Sanctuaries, a group opposed to the state's sanctuary law, and registered a 95.3% validity rate on the 111,000 signatures that were submitted two weeks ago.
If IP 22 is approved, Oregon will be the first to repeal a state sanctuary law that shields illegal aliens from arrest. The petition would allow Oregon's state and local agencies to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
