From Breitbart: Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek (D) threatened to investigate and prosecute federal agents who enforce the United States’ immigration laws in the state of Oregon.
In a video on Instagram, Kotek accused the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) of carrying out “violent actions” and “stoking fear in the name of immigration enforcement.” Kotek also said the state would “investigate misconduct” and hold federal officers accountable.
“I believe as you do, in the rule of law and keeping our community safe,” Kotek said. “We also believe in being a welcoming place, where our immigrant and refugee community help our state thrive. The ongoing violent actions of the federal Department of Homeland Security are unacceptable — going after Oregonians, and stoking fear in the name of ‘immigration enforcement.’”
Kotek, 59, a Democrat, was elected governor of Oregon in 2022. Prior to that, she served in the Oregon House of Representatives from 2007 to 2022. She is the second openly-lesbian woman to be elected governor of Oregon.
In her Instagram video, posted on Tuesday of last week, Kotek declared, “I will not tolerate reckless or unconstitutional behavior in our state. I fully support @agdanrayfield and local District Attorneys who have put the federal government on notice. Oregon is monitoring all ICE actions closely. We will investigate misconduct. And if a federal officer breaks Oregon law, they will be held accountable — just like anyone else.”
