Nearly half of Oregon's 36 sheriffs signed on to a letter supporting an effort to repeal the state's 31-year-old sanctuary law, which bars local and state resources from being used to enforce federal immigration laws.
"The statute undermines respect for the law in significant ways," writes Clatsop County Sheriff Tom Burgin.
The letter encourages Oregonians to vote for Measure 105, which would repeal the law, in November.
