The suit, filed in circuit court earlier this month, claims that Multnomah County is unlawfully agreeing to hold individuals detained by the U.S. Marshals Service for violations of federal immigration law even after they have posted bail or a judge has ordered their release. In one case, the organizations filing the suit allege, Multnomah County held a man for three days for immigration-related reasons after a judge ordered his release.

The County's $300,000 investment yields outsized returns - returns that cannot be replaced if these funds are cut.
