Gov. Brown joins outcry over Trump immigration orders

KTVZ

Oregon Governor Kate Brown issued the following statement Sunday regarding the recent executive orders on immigration signed by President Donald Trump:

“President Trump’s recent executive orders that divide and discriminate do not reflect the values enshrined in the U.S. Constitution, or the principles we stand for as Oregonians.

“In Oregon, where thousands have fought for and demanded equality, we can not and will not retreat.

“As governor, I will uphold the civil and human rights of all who call Oregon home.

“My staff is studying the recent executive orders to determine what effects they may have on Oregonians, and I will explore options to keep Oregon a safe place for everyone.

“I am also in contact with the Port of Portland and local authorities and am prepared to assist if necessary.

“Now, more than ever, we must stand together, guided by the enduring belief in freedom, liberty, and justice for all, and make our voices heard.”
