On August 14, 2025, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi sent letters to leaders in Oregon and Washington warning that sanctuary policies must change and requiring a response by August 19 — the letters also went to California, and local officials vowed to keep their own immigration rules. Washington Governor Bob Ferguson said his state would not yield to the threat while Oregon Governor Tina Kotek said officials would defend local policies in court.
