Tells public bodies and bodies that enforce state laws to help enforce the nation’s immigration laws. Applies only to persons who are convicted of certain crimes. Requires public bodies and law enforcement agencies to enforce federal immigration laws with respect to any individual who is convicted of a violent felony or Class A misdemeanor or felony sexual offense

A statewide poll commissioned by House Republicans ahead of the 2025 Legislative Session revealed that 69% of Oregonians support deporting undocumented immigrants who have been convicted of a crime while in the United States. Only 19% of Oregonians support Oregon House Democrats’ position that no new immigration policies are needed to keep our communities safe. The statewide poll was conducted by Public Opinion Strategies between January 4–7 of this year, and surveyed 500 registered Oregon voters with a ±4.38% margin of error.

Governor Tina Kotek has pledged to “uphold Oregon’s sanctuary promise laws” and Attorney General Dan Rayfield has added resources towards the “Sanctuary Toolkit and Guidance” to shield undocumented immigrants from federal law enforcement, even those who have committed violent crimes.
