GRESHAM, Ore.— Today, Gresham Mayor Travis Stovall issued a personal, heartfelt message to the community in response to feedback and concerns related to federal immigration enforcement.
“Working alongside my colleagues on City Council, we have taken steps to bring clarity at the local level while continuing to call for real action from the state and federal government,” Stovall says in the statement. “Broad, indiscriminate actions from far away do not make communities safer. Too often, they create confusion, fear, and harm for people who are simply trying to live their lives, work hard, and care for their families.”
Mayor Stovall’s message underscores Gresham City Council’s commitment to identifying and moving forward with helpful local action while encouraging federal leaders to enact meaningful immigration reform.
