Portland City Councilmember Angelita Morillo plans to introduce 3 policies that target ICE

Portland City Councilmember Angelita Morillo said she will be introducing three policies that target Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Morillo's action came after the city issued a notice fora land use violation on the ICE facility in South Portland.

In a social media video, Morillo said the first policy is an attempt at disincentivizing landlords from leasing their buildings to ICE in the city, i.e., should a landlord decide to do so, they will have to pay extra fees to the city for the costs the city will incur in cleaning up after protesters or for having extra police around the area.

"We plan on introducing three policies to address ICE and also just in general federal encroachment over our city, and that includes a detention fee for any landlords who are choosing to do contracts to open up new detention center," said Councilwoman Morillo, in an interview with KATU.
