The Arrests of THREE Protesters at the Portland, Oregon ICE Facility Led to The POLICY UPDATE.
🚫The CLARK COUNTY JAIL will NO Longer Be Used to HOLD Inmates Whose CRIMES Originated OUTSIDE the COUNTY. The 'JAIL POLICY' was CHANGED! -> in NOVEMBER After Questions Arose about 'THREE-PROTESTERS' who were Arrested at the PORTLAND U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Processing Facility and Then Transported Across STATE LINES to the VANCOUVER JAIL by 'FEDERAL' Officials.
📌“Whether It’s a PROTESTERS, Whether It’s SOME Other CRIME that Happens in the CITY of PORTLAND, There’s 'OTHER JAILS' in the Community that They could Take 'These FOLKS' - to,” said David SHOOK, The CLARK COUNTY JAIL DIRE

📌“We’re - 'Just Going To' - NOT Allow Them to Come To OUR JAIL If They’re NOT Associated with CLARK COUNTY.”
📣The UPDATED BOOKING CRITERIA was Listed in a NOVEMBER 7 COUNTY JAIL SERVICES Document. SHOOK said Since the DEPARTMENT of JAIL SERVICES was Created THREE YEARS AGO, They’ve been TRYING to FOCUS on Local Arrests.
📌“This really 'JUST KIND OF' Follows that 'Philosophy of' Prioritizing CLARK COUNTY Arrests,” He (SHOOK)said.
🚨COUNTY MANAGER Kathleen OTTO could NOT be Reached for Further Comment about the CHANGE.⁉️👀

❗️The Policy CHANGE Arose from the OCTOBER 12 Arrests of Three Protesters during one of many Demonstrations outside the ICE FACILITY. They included clarinetist Oriana KAROL, who was Tackled by FEDERAL Officers while playing music in the Unpresidented Brass Band at the Facility. KAROL and the Others were Charged with Assaulting FEDERAL Officers, according to CLARK COUNTY JAIL Documents.
AFTER being Arrested, KAROL said They were Told by Officers with The DEPARTMENT of HOMELAND SECURITY that the MULTNOMAH County Jail was FULL. The Musician was Transferred from the Portland ICE Building To the CLARK COUNTY JAIL for Three Nights, and Then to the FEDERAL Courthouse in PORTLAND.
FYI:
People ARRESTED on FEDERAL Charges Can Be HELD in LOCAL JAILS While They’re Awaiting Transport to FEDERAL Facilities.
