When I was in Minnesota, community leaders said over and over again that peaceful protest was key. They had been providing constitutional observer training for nearly a year before thousands of ICE agents were sent to Minneapolis. Breaking into the federal building isn’t peaceful protesting.

We are continuously working to de-escalate situations where our community members may be at risk. Tonight, that work included having Eugene Police intervene to avoid direct confrontations between federal agents and protestors.
Facing potentially dangerous circumstances, our city has to be focused on timely actions that protect public safety.
These are not hypothetical or speculative circumstances. I want to express my appreciation to our staff and local officers for their work tonight. We needed their efforts to de-escalate a situation where people's lives could have been at risk.
After a peaceful protest that began mid-afternoon, a riot was declared at our federal building at about 6:00pm. This occurred after a group of protestors broke windows and attempted to enter the building. After this, EPD officers formed a barrier between protestors and the entry point, and people were encouraged to disperse. This heightened situation was 3-4 hours in total. EPD has now departed from the federal building, and federal agents are responsible for the site. Eugene Police will continue to patrol nearby.
Your safety and our community's collective, strategic response to challenges are my primary concerns. This is a painful time, and we can rise to the occasion without resorting to violence. Mass, peaceful protest is a powerful and durable mechanism for change-we see this from Minneapolis, and across our country's history.
Earlier in the day, I saw hundreds of young people, elders, and even small children attending a peaceful protest. Most people were distant from the facade of the federal building, gathered to exercise their rights in a neighborhood where many small businesses had dedicated the day to solidarity. Our collective power resides with our ability to remain connected to a larger purpose and to each other. In any way you can encourage peaceful and strategic action, please do.

I just met with four of my constituents who are being held at the Tacoma ICE facility. They are not “the worst of the worst”. I will be following up with lawyers and maintaining direct contact so that they do not get lost in our broken immigration system.

I joined the Monopoly Busters Caucus tonight to talk about our state's win that blocked the Kroger-Albertsons merger when I was Attorney General. I appreciate the focus on affordability from our members of Congress. Proud to name Congresswoman Jayapal Washingtonian of the Day.

During such dark times, I am so happy to share some good news! Eugene’s very own 17-year-old Maria Telesheva was featured on NPR’s Tiny Desk Concerts. She is amazing with the accordion, check it out below👇

And finally, local officers have immunity that is qualified in that there are qualifications for the presumption of immunity. The administration has been clear that it doesn’t exist for ICE. It’s critical to recognize those differences in what is happening now. www.theiacp.org/news/officia...

2/ They operate under a different set of standards, there are investigations with the presumption of neutrality at the outset. There are basic laws and constitutional rights that are expected to be respected. There are training and hiring standards that are significantly higher than with ICE.

Representative Val Hoyle@repvalhoyle.bsky.socialJan 25(source)

1/ As someone who is not a member of law enforcement but has heard from many members of law enforcement, I think it is essential to differentiate between what is happening with ICE and how local police and sherrifs are trained to operate.

NEW Statement from the family of Alex Pretti:

Statement from the family of Alex Pretti:

"We are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman.

The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed.

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man.”

Representative Val Hoyle@repvalhoyle.bsky.socialJan 24(source)

I am horrified that ICE has murdered another person in Minneapolis. ICE and CPB agents are not above the rule of law. This administration is gaslighting the country and ruining public trust by telling people what they see isn't true. I urge the Senate to do the right thing and block DHS funding NOW.

I am horrified that ICE has murdered another person in Minneapolis. Let me be clear: Kristi Noem's DHS must stop violating our constitutional rights. ICE must stand down and allow the proper investigating agencies, including local law enforcement, to do their work without prejudice or predetermination of the outcome.

ICE and CPB agents are not above the rule of law. This administration is gaslighting the country and ruining public trust by telling people what they see isn't true. I urge the Senate to do the right thing and block DHS funding NOW.

Roe v. Wade safeguarded the fundamental freedom to bodily autonomy. On what should have been its 53rd anniversary, the fight to protect our rights isn't over. I stand with the @demwomencaucus.bsky.social and @reprocaucus.bsky.social y.social to protect reproductive rights nationwide.

Representative Val Hoyle@repvalhoyle.bsky.socialJan 22(source)

We swore an oath to defend the very Constitutional rights that have been aggressively violated by Kristi Noem’s DHS. I will not send a single cent to ICE so long as they cannot abide by the clear principles this country has followed since 1791. Today, I am voting NO.

Immigration officers assert sweeping power to enter homes without a judge's warrant, memo says

An Immigration and Customs Enforcement memo obtained by The Associated Press reveals that the agency allows immigration officers to forcibly enter homes to make arrests without a judicial warrant.

It's way past time to reverse this ruling, and I will continue to support policies that root out corruption and dark money. We must remain accountable to ALL voters and NOT donors.

1/ Citizens United kickstarted the downfall of our democracy 16 years ago. Now, unlimited and undisclosed outside spending has reshaped political priorities, bought favors and taken over tv ads.

16 years of corruption - end citizens united.

Oregon families are spending $1,791 more on average this year due to Trump’s reckless policymaking.

Trump promised to lower costs. But after one year of reckless decisions, Oregon families are spending $1,791 more on average due to his policies. I’ll continue fighting to lower costs at home and urge my colleagues across the aisle to get their priorities straight.

Representative Val Hoyle@repvalhoyle.bsky.socialJan 19(source)

Dr. King believed in the power of solidarity to move our country forward. As we face incredibly challenging times, we are reminded that the time is always right to do what is right. We must come together to protect one another, speak up for what’s right and push for an America that works for us all.

Representative Val Hoyle@repvalhoyle.bsky.socialJan 16(source)

This is no longer about enforcing immigration law at all. I cannot fund an agency that has repeatedly abused its authority, violated due process and is operating in such a provocative manner under this administration.
