Local law enforcement, your city, county, and state teams, including the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO), do not enforce federal immigration laws or work with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Oregon law prevents local agencies from cooperating with ICE detainers. Oregon sheriff’s offices do not keep people in jail solely based on their immigration status. Like many other local law enforcement agencies in Oregon, MCSO’s primary goal is to keep our community safe and build trust with everyone who lives in Multnomah County.
