The law applies to all of us - including federal officers.

We recently put the Department of Homeland Security & US Department of Justice on notice: they must halt all unlawful actions by federal officers in Oregon, and we are actively monitoring federal conduct.

No one is above the law. #orpol

“Our office hears from Oregonians who rely on community health clinics for the basics - a cancer screening, a birth control refill, treatment when something feels off. These aren’t political moments for them - they’re moments of care and dignity. This ruling helps keep the doors open for providers who have shown up for our communities for decades, no matter who you are or what you earn.”

What happened: Over the summer, we filed a multistate lawsuit challenging the federal reconciliation bill’s provision defunding Planned Parenthood. Yesterday, a federal court ruled in our favor to protect Planned Parenthood funding – but our fight isn’t over. The court ruled that the so-called “defund provision” is unlawful, and that the states have suffered irreparable harm – but the court also stayed (paused) its order for one week to allow the federal government to appeal.

What happened, part 2: This stay (pause) isn’t unusual: it’s a way to maintain the status quo so the federal government to appeal the ruling. Although federal funding is paused for now, here in Oregon, our legislature has committed to backfilling the loss in Medicaid funds for Planned Parenthood. In short: Oregon supports Planned Parenthood, and Oregonians are doing everything we can do keep clinic doors open for our communities. We’ll continue to share updates.

In a huge win, we’ve protected critical legal services for survivors of sexual assault & domestic violence.

The Trump administration tried to put new, unlawful conditions on VOCA & VAWA funds. We sued, and they reversed course.

We’ll continue to fight for survivors every day.

As Supreme Court considers tariffs, Oregon businesses hope for relief Oblique Coffee Roasters has served artisan roasted coffee since 2010. But now, the cost of beans has skyrocketed following the tariffs, the owner says.

AG Rayfield has announced a settlement with HelloFresh after an Oregon DOJ investigation found the company misled consumers with deceptive “free meal,” “free shipping,” and “free gift” offers. HelloFresh — one of the world’s largest meal-kit companies with more than 3 million U.S. customers — routinely advertised promotions such as “10 free meals" or “$180 off." The meals were not free, and the company failed to clearly disclose the true cost and conditions of its discounts.

“HelloFresh built its brand on promises of ‘free meals’ that were anything but. There’s no such thing as ‘free’ if families must spend hundreds of dollars to unlock the deal. This Oregon action doesn’t just clean up how HelloFresh markets to our residents – it will also help push the company to be honest in its advertising nationwide.”

Today we filed a lawsuit challenging new unlawful SNAP benefits eligibility requirements. We recently sent a letter to USDA, hoping they had made a mistake, but got no reply - so we took legal action. The Trump administration must follow the law.

We’ll keep fighting so no one in Oregon goes hungry.

“It’s wild that we’re here the day before Thanksgiving. We’re the wealthiest country in the world, and no one should go hungry. When this memo came out, we thought it must be a mistake. The law is clear, and this is not how you treat people.” - AG Rayfield

BREAKING NEWS: AG Rayfield sues to block unlawful SNAP eligibility guidance

AG Rayfield and a multistate coalition filed a lawsuit today to stop the federal government from unlawfully cutting off Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits for thousands of lawful permanent residents. The coalition is seeking to block new guidance from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) that wrongly treats several groups of legal immigrants as ineligible for food assistance, including permanent residents who were granted asylum or admitted as refugees.

BREAKING NEWS: We’ve filed a lawsuit to block unlawful SNAP eligibility guidance – and to make sure that everyone who is eligible for SNAP can have food on their table. #orpol #snap

I’m grateful Attorney General Rayfield is pressing Trump on his federal agents' unlawful conduct in Oregon. Oregonians deserve true public safety, not a federal government that uses fear and intimidation to divide and control us.
