Andrea Valderrama, senior policy adviser to Mayor Ted Wheeler of Portland, Ore., speaks to a crowd in 2017 before the Portland City Council's sanctuary vote. The council's vote to reaffirm the designation primarily was symbolic, given the state of Oregon is one of a handful of states in the country with a statewide sanctuary law. A measure to repeal the law will be on the November ballot. (CNS/Francisco Lara, Catholic Sentinel)
