Did you miss my Newsweek editorial on ICE? If you haven’t read it yet, I hope you’ll take a few minutes to hear my call to fellow mayors across the nation.  

Portland Mayor: Hold the Course To Stop ICE | Opinion – Newsweek 

I have good news. In the hours after my editorial was published, the ACLU and Innovation Law Lab delivered a pair of major court victories. Like I stated in my editorial, peace and purpose remains the winning strategy.

“Hold the course” and keep showing up for Portland values. We have more than momentum and the law on our side; we have the voices and passion of everyday Portlanders. We’ve truly come together with peace and purpose to help our neighbors and lift up our community. I am forever grateful for how our city continues to meet the moment.
