I wrote the "Acting chief of police" a letter on November the 21st of this year, in it I asked why the Town and its "Acting chief of police" took it upon themselves to refuse the Attorney Generals request to interview the people on the list. I received a reply 2 days later supposedly from the "Acting chief of police". I have not posted this reply because of one of the statements in the reply about the Attorney General's request not being lawful,knowing eventually they would contradict themselves. Looks to me like its not the law they are worried about but their own self interests. In fact the "Acting chief of police" had one of his underlings reply to my letter, but this is to be expected. Here is the reply;

Thank you very much for taking the time to write. Oregon State Law prohibits local police from questioning immigrants when there is no evidence they are connected to a crime and foreign citizenship is the only issue, therefore if local police took part in this, we would be breaking the law. We do want to cooperate with the US Attorney's Office should they be willing to modify some of the questions that pose a problem under the state law. Again, I appreciate you taking the time to write me.

Andrew Kirkland
Acting Chief of Police
Portland Police Bureau

Officer Kristy Galvan

Prior to the rewrite...

Read the gray and the red.
Then read the gray and the blue.

Thank you very much for wasting our taking the time to write. Oregon State Law prohibits local police from questioning poor innocent immigrants when there is no information at all on their background even at the INS evidence they are connected to a crime and criminality foreign citizenship is the only grave concern issue, therefore if local police took part in this, we would be totally un-PC breaking the law. We do not want to cooperate with the US Attorney's Office should they be willing to modify some of the questions that pose a problem under the state law. Again, I appreciate you wasting our taking the time to write me.

Thanks for taking your time to write to these left wingers.

Now after reading this latest article with the real lawyers reading what John Ashcroft wants, it is evident that the left wing maggots in Portland did not read what he wanted.

Instead they acted like the left wingers are acting throughout the country from Sen. Leahy/DASSHOLE to these maggots in Portland.

They deliberately lied to you and others who took time to write to them!

Thanks for being AnAmerican in this issue!
