‘Human crisis': Oregon joins lawsuit against Trump administration over $15M crime victim cuts
OREGON CITY, Ore. (KOIN) — The State of Oregon joined a lawsuit challenging the Trump Administration's slashing of funds for the Attorney General Dan Rayfield announced the lawsuit on Monday. 'Betrayed': Gov. Kotek reacts to projected loss of $15B in federal funding A press conference took place on Monday afternoon with Rayfield and Clackamas County District Attorney John Wentworth, plus others. It can be viewed in the video player above. 'The Federal Administration is trying to use victims of crimes as a political tool to carry out an incredibly unpopular political agenda, and they are doing it in an unprecedented way,' Rayfield said. 'This lawsuit is about keeping shelters open for survivors of domestic violence, who need a safe space to sleep at night.' Oregon advocates warn of cuts to vital services for domestic, sexual abuse survivors The loss of the federal funding has thrown more than 100 agencies and organizations in the state into chaos. These organizations help victims of domestic violence, child abuse and sex trafficking. 'This is yet another attempt to place unlawful conditions on federal funds coming into Oregon to advance the President's unpopular agenda, this time at the expense of crime victims and survivors,' said Rayfield. 'These grants support services like the counselor who picks up the phone at 2 a.m., the shelter bed that keeps a mom and her kids safe tonight, or the advocate who walks a victim through the court process.' Clackamas County District Attorney said the victim cuts bring a 'human crisis' to the area. 'This is a fact. We are standing on the edge of a catastrophic failure of our duty to protect the most vulnerable in our community,' he said. 'If we don't act, we will pay the price.' 'It breaks my heart to experience the destruction of our system of safety and care,' added Melissa Erlbaum, the executive director of Clackamas Women's Services. Established more than 40 years ago, the Oregon AG's office says that more than 140 victim service providers rely on Victims of Crime Act (or VOCA) grants to provide critical services from shelters to camps for kids, victim advocates, and more. The AG's office says those organizations stand to lose more than $15 million under the new federal cuts next year. 'This is the money that keeps the lights on at domestic violence shelters,' Clackamas County District Attorney John Wentworth said. 'It pays for the specially trained advocates at child children's advocacy centers to provide a safe space for abused children to describe the unspeakable.'
