Key Takeaways<\/h2>\n

Oregon’s immigration laws consistently prioritize immigrant privacy, limits state and local involvement in federal immigration enforcement, and maintains broad access to public services. This stems from \u201csanctuary\u201d laws that restrict how police and state agencies can use resources for immigration purposes, along with policies that protect access to health care, education, and housing regardless of status.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Immigration laws are primarily enforced by federal agencies. But states have their own rules that affect the daily life of immigrants and the services they can access. These rules and regulations vary by state. States also have a significant say in how they enforce immigration laws.<\/span><\/p>\n
