In this Thursday, Jan. 26, 2017, photo, Oregon Gov. Kate Brown speaks to media representatives in Salem, Ore. President Donald Trump's promised crackdown on "sanctuary cities" has triggered divergent actions from blue and red states: Some are moving to follow his order and others are breaking with the U.S. government to protect immigrants in the country illegally. Oregon pioneered statewide sanctuary in a 1987 law. Brown said she will enforce that law, saying, "They take care of our children and they take care of our seniors, and I want to make sure they feel welcome in Oregon." (AP Photo/Don Ryan) (AP)
