Why report?

The “Report and Support System” is designed to provide support to individuals and impacted communities who have been targeted by sanctuary law violations and to help Oregon DOJ inquire about suspected violations. If you see something, say something. If you suspect a violation, please report it!  Advocates on the hotline are multilingual and identify as members of the communities we support. Interpretation services are available in 240+ languages.

We want to:

• Support those who witnessed, have been targeted in, or impacted by violations of Oregon’s sanctuary laws.
• Refer witnesses, targeted individuals, and community members to services that can help.
• Track suspected violations and inform the public if there are trends.

How data is stored and protected

If you report a suspected violation that you witnessed or that happened to someone else, your name and identifying information will not be made public by ODOJ, unless ODOJ is subpoenaed and compelled by a court order. The targeted individual’s name and date of birth may be shared with the public body or agency suspected of violating sanctuary law if ODOJ makes an inquiry.

Personally identifying information will be redacted from any records released pursuant to a public records request.
