U. Oregon Faculty Union Declares ‘Sanctuary’ Status, Says it Will Refuse to Work With ICE
“We will be creating a legal defense fund to assist members for their family members who are targets of unlawful or suspect conduct by the federal government.”
This is the state of Oregon, so it’s not much of a surprise. Will they be hearing from Tom Homan over this?

U of Oregon faculty union declares ‘sanctuary’ status, says it will not cooperate with ICE
A University of Oregon faculty union has declared itself a “sanctuary union,” claiming that it will avoid cooperating with federal law enforcement on immigration issues.
The University Academics of the University of Oregon (UAUO) is the sole faculty union at the university representing approximately 1,900 employees. On April 21, the union claimed in a newsletter that it will not be cooperating with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in deportation-related matters.
“Be it resolved that UA declares itself a ‘Sanctuary Union’ that will take measures to protect the rights and safety of all the employees we represent and their families, regardless of their immigration status or national origin,” the newsletter reads.
The faculty association added that it will not “voluntarily cooperate with federal agents in the arrest, prosecution, or attempted deportation of represented employees or their family members.”
“We will be creating a legal defense fund to assist members for their family members who are targets of unlawful or suspect conduct by the federal government. If you are interested in being on a committee to help formulate policy and administer the fund,” the newsletter asserted.
The policy also states that the union will actively train and inform members on how to identify and challenge law enforcement actions.
For example, it will host trainings to instruct faculty members of their legal rights during federal investigations and educate workers on how to avoid ICE actions.

Time to target the University of Oregon faculty union for illegals.
“We will be creating a legal defense fund to assist members for their family members who are targets of unlawful or suspect conduct by the federal government.”
Fully enjoy the freedom American society gives you to piss away your own money, Exercise it as hard as you can.
Have the good professors put their money where their mouths are. Have illegal aliens live in the professors’ homes, with all expenses paid for by the professors. In addition, the professors will accept legal liability for any subsequent crimes that the illegals living in their homes commit. How many illegal aliens would each professor be prepared to sponsor—and pay for? Three illegal aliens for each professor’s home? 🙂
They dont’ have sovereignty that will allow that.
I hope they try and end up in jail.
They don’t need sovereignty. They have no obligation to cooperate with federal agents, or indeed state or local agents. Their only obligation is not to interfere with them.
It’s too bad about those research grants, which will no longer be provided.
Well, that’s their choice.
If they’re not independently wealthy, they’ll be gone in a year or two.
OK with me.
Catch them breaking the law and lower the boom on them.
That assumes they intend to break the law. Nothing in their announcement indicates that. Everything they say they plan to do is lawful.
when possible take the union members to court and have them commit perjury
b/c they are refusing to co-operate and maybe that too can be used against them as obstruction
otherwise they are exercising their rights to freely associate
they are anti american
but so was fjb and he got elected ( maybe) as potus in 2020
Perjury about what? Why would they tell a lie at all, let alone a material lie? Remember that even under oath, immaterial lies are not perjury.
As with so many other “universities”, a UOregon diploma has just become so much wastepaper.
