BIG COUNCIL SESSIONS and MEETING Tomorrow: A quick post this morning with more to follow later today. The City of Hillsboro has released a draft version of a State of Emergency Resolution in reference to ICE and the arrests now taking place around the valley. Public outcry demanding such a declaration be passed has been rising for a month or so. At the last meeting on November 4th, many demanded it, yet the Mayor and staff resisted.

Forest Grove & Washington County Declared Emergencies. Hillsboro Has Not. Here’s Why It Matters.

Hundreds of Hillsboro residents packed City Hall on Nov. 4 — parents, teenagers, workers, seniors — all describing the fear sweeping our community as ICE arrests continue across Washington County.
People begged the City Council to declare a State of Emergency.

But while Forest Grove and Washington County responded with swift emergency declarations, freed funds, and public commitments…

Hillsboro still has not declared an emergency.

Mayor Pace says the City cannot stop ICE due to federal supremacy — but insists Hillsboro is “doing what it can,” including $200,000 in new grants for families and businesses impacted by enforcement.

The community’s question remains:
Why are our neighboring cities acting fast… while Hillsboro moves slowly?

I recorded the moment my cousins were maced by an unidentified ICE agent. We were monitoring suspicious activity to protect our community. We are workers, parents, neighbors—people who care. We demand these agents be identified. We must stand against injustice.

It is late. 7 more citizens You all followed our story of arrests and abductions, in teenagers' faces- and a young man named who rose up to win the day! is now raising money for families of those suffering under the MONSTER who lives in the White House fascist campaign. I am an - I have privilege. But I love good people, hard-working people, and many who are being ripped from our former AG, now Tech town, are among the best! Hearing our quote the and say led me to write the lyrics for this very . So, I am telling the story of one immigrant I know and of all those like him - working, contributing, helping - who are now gone. All of our ancestors had it easy - becoming a now requires a million-dollar payment to the - maybe this song will connect. This is my 2025 American Song, Our Hands Are Tied - how dare our leaders use such language to explain why they are helpless, while our friends and neighbors disappear- HANDS - and cooperation of some law enforcement terrorize millions of humans. The song is available for recording artists - it's copyrighted- and all proceeds shall go to Immigrant right,s should anyone wish to contact me about its use.





He built this town, brick by brick, for 25 years. Now they're tearing him down. Neighbors watch, love in their eyes, but fear paralyzes them. Can't you feel the ground shake when a good man falls? Hillsboro, don't you hide. Untie your hands tonight.
