A quick post this morning with more to follow later today. The City of Hillsboro has released a draft version of a State of Emergency Resolution in reference to ICE and the arrests now taking place around the valley. Public outcry demanding such a declaration be passed has been rising for a month or so. At the last meeting on November 4th, many demanded it, yet the Mayor and staff resisted. I have not had time to review all of the impacts of this 5-page Resolution, but I will revise this story later today.
There are a large number of other items on the agenda for the 6 PM work session, which include proposals from 4 councilors on additional steps Hillsboro needs to take.
