In the week since Mayor Wilson began enforcing the public camping ban, we are seeing MORE tents in East Portland. Those folks are just being swept into my district.
I told the mayor that this is what would happen and asked him to bring extra resources to East PDX to meet the displaced. He did not.

Our amendment doesn’t cut those things.
Mayor Wilson could’ve called me to clarify and ask questions before blasting us in a newsletter, but of course he has to find a scapegoat when he doesn’t magically end homelessness on 12/1 by warehousing people.
Looking forward to clarifying this tomorrow.

The Impact Reduction Program also provides trash abatement, which is essential in maintaining clean, walkable sidewalks for all Portlanders. We shouldn‘t cut their budget.

“Angelita Morillo proposed an amendment reallocating money from a city sweeps program, instead funding housing and food assistance, support for immigrants.”
Portland City Council will consider an amendment next week to redirect $4.3 million from the city program that sweeps homeless encampments. If passed, the budget adjustment will instead invest $2 million in rent and food assistance, and support for immigrants and refugees.

Increased ICE activity in North Portland today has led Portland Public Schools to lock exterior doors at César Chávez School and George Middle School, along with other protective measures. Other North Portland schools are monitoring the situation closely.

Before becoming a City Councilor I was an anti-hunger policy advocate working to expand SNAP access. What the federal administration is doing is morally bankrupt. We need a functioning government so families can afford to eat. I was proud to sign on to this statement.

Multnomah County and Portland leaders, community partners call on Trump administration to fund food assistance to prevent hardship, hunger and suffering for 136,000 County residents
The federal administration can immediately act to release these contingency funds at any time — today, even — and spare 136,000 of our neighbors from needless suffering and hunger.

"Ms. Morillo said she planned to create an impact fee on detention centers within city limits [...] to cover public costs such as cleaning up environmental damage caused by the use of tear gas against demonstrators."
"Ms. Morillo said she planned to create an impact fee on detention centers within city limits [...] to cover public costs such as cleaning up environmental damage caused by the use of tear gas against demonstrators."
Oregon has one of the most complex sets of zoning and land use laws in the U.S. Portland, under pressure from its liberal residents, is using those restrictions against immigrant detention.

Portland, Ore., is well known for its dense laws on land use. Now, under pressure from its liberal residents, the city is using those restrictions against immigrant detention.

Two things felt different to the ppl I spoke with who’d been protesting at the ICE building for months.
1st was the sheer volume of tear gas, pepper balls and flash-bangs used, seemingly unprovoked.
2nd was seeing so many videographers/live-streamers embedded with the feds as they marched out.

Update as of 4:30pm
Temporary Restraining Order against the feds has been granted. The judge did not find evidence that the military or the guard need to be brought in because the protests in Portland have been relatively calm.
