Oregon DA announces immigration reform policy to balance deportation risk when prosecuting cases
Fox News
Prosecutors in Oregon have adopted an immigration reform policy that would protect immigrants from deportation.
It also allows for punishments to be restructured so that they don't result in deportation, as long as the changes don’t reduce the severity of the sentence. Louis Casiano is a reporter for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to louis.casiano@fox.com.
"Prior to these reforms, non-citizens accused of a crime could be sent back to their country of origin and given a lifelong ban from re-entry for non-violent offenses, where a naturalized U.S. citizen charged with the exact same crime may only receive a few months probation," District Attorney Mike Schmidt said during a news conference.
