A lawsuit joined by Oregon’s attorney general on Monday, Aug. 18, seeks to stop the withholding of crime victim grants from states unwilling to assist in immigration enforcement.

Oregon joins 20 other states in the lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice. The lawsuit asks a federal district court judge to rule that adopting such immigration enforcement conditions on the grants would be "contrary to the Constitution and federal laws."

Already, reductions to Victims of Crime Act grants pose problems for Lane County organizations like Kids First, said the organization’s executive director, Patty Perlow.

Kids First grant funding from the Victims of Crime Act has been cut from about $200,000 to “much less” than $90,000, said Perlow, explaining that the money for the current fiscal year has not yet been released by the state attorney general.

With a loss of grant funding, “the concern is fulfilling our obligation to the community,” Perlow said.

The nonprofit last year provided services such as medical exams, therapy and advocacy for more than 860 Lane County children, Perlow said.

“We are required to provide these services by state statute, so shutting the door isn’t an option. We will have to find a funding source,” Perlow said.

The organization has an annual budget of about $3.3 million, Perlow said, adding that there’s also uncertainty about the organization’s Medicaid funding.

Other local nonprofit agencies, including Sexual Assault Support Services, Relief Nursery and Hope & Safety Alliance, are also hurt by the Victims of Crime Act grant cuts, Perlow said.

Attorney General Dan Rayfield in a written statement Monday criticized President Donald Trump.

“This is yet another attempt to place unlawful conditions on federal funds coming into Oregon to advance the President’s unpopular agenda, this time at the expense of crime victims and survivors,” Rayfield said in a statement. “These grants support services like the counselor who picks up the phone at 2 a.m., the shelter bed that keeps a mom and her kids safe tonight, or the advocate who walks a victim through the court process.”

Perlow said her first thought about the lawsuit was how much time it will take to resolve.

Kids First and other similar service providers turned to the statehouse earlier this year in hopes of securing state “backfill” funding for $18.5 million in Victims of Crime Act grant cuts.

“All of the representatives and senators that we spoke with were very understanding of the problem … but said this is a tough year financially,” Perlow said, adding that she’s still hopeful that a legislative committee reviewing emergency funding requests will reconsider the “backfill” funding.

The Emergency Board has the authority to meet outside of the legislative session, but its next meeting has not yet been scheduled.

In a press conference Monday, Rayfield acknowledged that the lawsuit will take time and called for more state funding to victim resource organizations.

“We, as leaders of this state, have an obligation to ask our state legislature to help step up and backfill these programs at a time, frankly, when funding for our state is limited,” Rayfield said. Read the story from Jaime Adame
