"As you recall from last week, Mayor Wilson announced that the city will be delivering a land use violation notice to ICE who has been using their Southwest Portland rental property to violate city rules and detain immigrants for more than 24 hours at a time. An investigation revealed they have broken this rule a whopping 25 times (that we know of), and if they choose not to rectify the situation there's the chance they could be evicted."
"When asked for their response, ICE spouted a bunch of ridiculous, Trump-style bullshit. "Another day, another sanctuary politician attempting to prevent the brave men and women of ICE from removing the worst of the worst, including rapists, murderers, pedophiles, and gang members from the U.S.," squealed the clearly delusional federal racists. Oh, and while the chose to simply repeat the feds' clearly false and deeply immoral statement without any fact checking or pushback, our Taylor Griggs expertly dissected their many lies and supplied the receipts."
Mercury requests small monthly contributions to sustain local news, arts coverage, and events. Fall begins with mostly sunny skies and highs in the upper 70s, peaking at 85 on Tuesday. Mayor Wilson directed the city to issue a land use violation to ICE after investigators found the agency used a Southwest Portland rental to detain immigrants beyond the 24-hour limit, violating city rules 25 times. The violations could lead to eviction if not remedied. ICE responded with inflammatory rhetoric claiming to remove dangerous criminals, while reporting by Taylor Griggs fact-checked those assertions and documented multiple falsehoods.
