AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Oregon Primary Day: Oregon voters have until 8 p.m. to drop ballots in official drop boxes (and if you’re in line at 8, you can still submit). Local Governance: Columbia County is changing jail intake rules to align with Oregon’s sanctuary law—ending the “illegal” checkbox and stopping certain holds for U.S. Marshals tied only to federal immigration charges. Legal Fight Over Student Aid: Oregon AG Dan Rayfield and a coalition of states sued the U.S. Department of Education over a new rule they say unlawfully narrows “professional degree” programs, potentially cutting access to federal student loans for fields like healthcare. Environment & Energy: A federal judge blocked a Southern Oregon logging plan, saying BLM didn’t properly account for protected old-growth trees. Transportation: Boutique Air will keep its Essential Air Service flights between Pendleton and Portland, though a separate federal civil case continues. National Politics: Across six states, Tuesday primaries are a fresh test of Trump’s influence over Republican voters.
