Rep. Salinas on ‘horrifying’ immigration arrests, impacts of Trump cuts on her district

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Oregon Governor Tina Kotek released figures this week showing that federal cuts under the president’s “Big beautiful bill” could cost the state billions of dollars over the next several years.

It’s something Rep. Andrea Salinas (D-Ore.) has been talking about for months now, especially when it comes to cuts to food assistance and SNAP benefits.
