TD Council Approves Resolution Acknowledging Immigration Impacts

The Dalles City Council unanimously approved a resolution Monday night acknowledging the impacts associated with heightened federal immigration enforcement activity, and lists community support actions.  Those actions would include a statement of concern that reaffirms the City’s commitment to accessible municipal services and lawful City operations while setting accurate expectations about City authority and limitations.  Councilor Scott Randall felt the resolution set the right balance between humanitarian values and respect for the rule of law, and acknowledges the duty to serve community and the limited authority the City has with federal law enforcement.  Fellow Councilor Dan Richardson added it is a modest response to current events, but also represents what can be done locally.  The resolution includes provisions for communication and information sharing while addressing misinformation, exploring financial partnerships with other organizations to support children and families, and training staff and developing internal readiness.
