ALT: "Dear Secretary Noem and Mr. Homan, We write to you as elected leaders who represent Oregon communities that are fearful and morally opposed to the tactics that federal officers are deploying in Oregon and across the country. Whenever law enforcement uses lethal force, there must be a full, fair investigation and accountability at the highest legal standard. The administration’s blatant disregard for the facts on the ground in recent incidents in Minneapolis, coupled with increasingly aggressive tactics and rhetoric against people exercising their First Amendment rights, compromises the integrity of the current investigations. The situation erodes public trust and normalizes an environment where it seems acceptable to harm people who disagree with what the government is attempting to do. This is in direct opposition to the civil liberties and freedoms on which this country was founded. We demand an immediate halt to federal immigration enforcement actions in Oregon until thorough investigations of use of force incidents in Minneapolis, in Portland, and all other use of force incidents by federal agents are thoroughly investigated and those involved are held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. State, county, and city law enforcement are on the front lines of keeping communities safe. They provide essential services and have built trust with the people they serve. That trust has been critical to reducing crime and violence across the state. But we are seeing firsthand the fear created by the administration’s immigration enforcement tactics. That fear is deepened when local law enforcement is shut out of federal investigations and treated as obstacles rather than partners in addressing real crime."
ALT lightly edited to ensure everything could be included. "The actions of your officers are not making our communities safer. Parents are afraid to take their children to school. Families are avoiding health care. People are scared to go to work or even go to the store for essentials, let alone support a range of small businesses. The actions of your officers, especially the use of lethal force, are damaging local economies and hurting the people we are responsible for protecting and serving. We will firmly uphold Oregon’s Sanctuary Law, protections that have been in place for decades and strengthened over time with bipartisan agreement, and we will defend local resolutions that complement and expand on state law. Lawful immigration enforcement is the work of the federal government, and our resources will continue to be prioritized to solve actual problems and address local criminal activity. Our message to our immigrant and refugee communities is unequivocal: We stand with you. You belong here. Our message to your administration is equally clear: Current practices must change immediately. Signed Tina Kotek, the governor.

Yesterday, 31 mayors across #Oregon sent a letter to Kristi Noem and Tom Homan, demanding that immigration enforcement be suspended until all use-of-force instances in Minnesota, Portland, etc. are fully investigated.

A screenshot of SPD's press release on Facebook. It reads: Location: 300 Block of Pioneer Parkway East Case Number: 26-00736 Date/Time: February 2nd, 2026 @ 4:50 PM Public lnformation Coordinator | More Information:spdpi@springfield-or.gov Completed By: Sergeant James Wilson Alford, Joseph INVOLVED SUSPECT: 21-Year-Old Male | Springfield, OR NARRATIVE OF INCIDENT: On the afternoon of February 2nd, 2026, the SpringfieldPolice Department responded to investigate a road rageincident that occurred near the intersection of PioneerParkway East and C Street in Springfield. It was reported;two co-workers were driving to work together when theyobserveda vehicle in front of them traveling slower than thespeed limit. As they drove up beside the other driver, theyobserved he was on his phone. The other driver was lateridentified as 21-year-old Joseph Alford. As the victims were next to Alford's vehicle, one of thevictims decided to make a comment to Alford about beinghis phone. Alford responded by pulling out a handgun andpointing it at them. The victims feared for their lives, drivingaway from Alford before reporting the incident to police.Through further investigation, Alford was identified as thealleged suspect.

At the conclusion, twofirearms were located in Alford's possession. He wasarrested for two counts of Menacing with a firearm andUnlawful Possession of a Firearm and lodged at the Lane County Jail.
A since-removed Facebook post from a local group showing that someone who knows them identified Joseph as the brother of Tyler. The photo is kind of eery. Joseph, at left, wears a orange gaiter over the majority of his face and a black beanie. His brother Tyler stands at right and appears to be on a backpacking excursion.
Tough week for the Alford Brothers of #SpringfieldOR.
First, Tyler shows up to the National Shutdown solidarity protest with his firearm across his chest (didn't Trump say that was bad? 😅)
Three days later, his brother Joseph is arrested by SPD for *checks notes* threatening motorists with a gun.

I just noticed that I completely missed adding an article to my archive, which I used to compile this list! 🤦♂️
For @dissonanttimes.bsky.social, I published a piece about both #EugeneOR and #SpringfieldOR ending their #Flock contracts.
A month later, I wrote about how the new police chief for #SpringfieldOR, Jami Resch, was the short-lived chief for #PortlandOR during the beginning of the 2020 George Floyd protests, oversaw Tear Gas Tuesday, and instructed officers to conceal their name badges and personnel numbers.
