Washington County, Oregon declares two states of emergency due to federal actions on food benefits and immigration enforcement. The county commissioners aim to swiftly address urgent community needs with these declarations, allowing them to redirect funds, seek aid, and protect residents. They allocate $250,000 for local food resources and $200,000 for immigration-related services, potentially impacting 57,000 people and 100,000 immigrants. A new guide for local food resources and a report on the allocated funds' impact are expected by January 31, 2026.
