Oregon Voters to Decide Fate of States Sanctuary Law

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).

If Oregon politicians weren't totally convinced the sanctuary law would pass they would never have given voters the "choice."  The politicians probably have a judge under contract to overturn the decision if the bill fails.  We are, after all, talking about liberal politicians.
