Efiles - 2025_11_14_CEI-Hub-Proposed-Draft
efiles.portlandoregon.gov
Today, BPS staff released their code proposal for making the Critical Energy Infrastructure Hub safer.
On first glance, it's pretty good. We didn't get everything we asked for, but the major pieces are present including a prohibition on all new liquid fuel terminals + a mandatory fuel drawdown.

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

I think creative and passionate advocacy about life and death issues is important, necessary, and good but intentionally misleading people about the nature of a problem and who has the direct authority to meet your demands is unethical and bad for the body politic.

if there's a reason to keep up the "tribunals for all involved" discourse one such reason it is to put in stark relief how far away some of the Dem politicking is from the mood on the ground
eric swalwell said on msnow that a major goal of a dem majority after the midterms would be for ice masks to come off and badges to come out, this is insufficient

It’s also not lost on me these same folks are praising my male colleague for clarifying the permit process for the ICE building while they’ve raked me through the coals for explaining it.
Genuinely hilarious.

A federal judge didn’t “steal” the Commander-in-Chief’s powers—she ruled that DoD exceeded the limits Congress set. That is the rule of law working as designed. What threatens the Republic isn’t judicial review, but officials who insist they’re above it.

Interesting when anti-ICE social media account holders, the PBA, and Kevin Dahlgren all line up to attack socialist city councilors for trying to leverage city power against detention facilities.
I bet the Mayor thinks it is hilarious since it’s the administrative side that reviews the ICE permit.

Welp, it looks like the Portland Metro Chamber’s solidarity with the community against ICE and a federal invasion ends at charging an impact fee to property owners who would rent their properties to detention facilities that harm neighbors & drain public resources.
Can’t say that we’re surprised!
