Why does the media fawn over Inslee so much? Non-cooperation with ICE by law enforcement has been a part of Oregon law for a while. Oregon recently expanded it to all governmental employees before Washington.

Why should this be a game of who gets there first? To me, any coverage, and any resistance in this matter is worth celebrating.

Just seems like anything Inslee does is news now a days.

They don't even mention that Oregon was doing this under Obama, wait, that's it! It's because it's anti Trump! Never mind that not cooperating with ICE was the moral thing to do the whole time and that this is now news because it's anti-trump. I get it, never mind, I don't know what I was thinking.

Inslee should run for president or something.

1. This was an article published in The Stranger, which bills itself as

    Seattle's Only Newspaper
so of course the focus is going to be on events and politics in Washington and not Oregon. This isn't the New York Times.

2. Good for Oregon, I truly, genuinely think that's great, but at the same time I think that some coverage is better than no coverage.

Lol, it's the Stranger, didn't notice.

Inslee has been all over the place as a rising star, was the 3rd or 4th piece I've seen blowing his trumpet this week and didn't realize.
