In this photo taken March 7, 2019, flags, including a POW/MIA flag, flap in a breeze in front of the Lane County Circuit Court building where the Veterans Treatment Court is held in Eugene, Ore. Military veterans who are struggling with addiction and have tangled with the law are being given a second chance in an Oregon courtroom.
The Trump administration in 2017 threatened to withhold law enforcement grants from 29 cities, counties or states it viewed as having “sanctuary” policies that limit cooperation with federal immigration agents. Today,to get the money, except Oregon, which is battling for the funds in federal court. “The Veterans Treatment Court creates a routine and a regimen that many vets can thrive in. It pulls them out of isolation,” said Michael Hajarizadeh, who represents the vets as a public defender. Many have post-traumatic stress, but the common thread is substance abuse, said Hajarizadeh, who himself is an Army veteran of the Afghanistan war.Bourgeois looked healthy and confident and wore a radiant smile as she accepted the coin on March 7 and shook Love’s hand.
Oregon Gov. Kate Brown and Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum sued President Donald Trump in November to get $4 million in grants from fiscal years 2017 and 2018 restored, saying Oregon was “unlawfully deprived” of the funds. The lawsuit accuses Trump of an “unconstitutional attempt” to compel Oregon to enforce federal immigration policies.Furthermore, the administration is violating the separation of powers by invading Congress’ spending authority, the lawsuit says.
Ahhh No, no one is caught in the middle. OR prioritize immigrates over its citizens.
1. Reallocate the money distribution to vets over sanctuary expenditures. 2. Remember how public school funds were withheld from districts refusing to implement Michelle Obama's (not elected) horrid lunch program. 3. Which works better? This program or funding illegals?
Disgusting that some officials in our country won’t enforce federal laws!
The President of the United States is the political face of a domestic terrorist movement. Contemplate that for five minutes.
This is so sad !!! Our Veterans must be protected !!!! M
