"starting today, Monday, March 2 and running until Sunday March 8, Portlanders will be feasting on delectable, original sandwich creations built by 88 (!?!) of the city's most fabulous chefs... and if that's not enough, they're only $10 each!"
"Lee explained his reasoning in a February 24 employee town hall meeting, in which he said that, despite the undeniable ickiness of the agents' actions, there are many Portlanders who seek federal assistance via the office, and if it were not there, they'd have to cross state lines to get the services they need."

The publication highlights Sandwich Week, running March 2-8, featuring 88 local chefs creating original sandwiches priced at $10 each. In local news, city administrator Raymond Lee announced the decision to maintain Portland's ICE facility despite significant public outcry demanding its closure. Lee justified the decision by noting that many Portlanders rely on federal services available through the facility, and that keeping it open locally benefits immigration attorneys assisting those detained by ICE, avoiding the need for detainees to be transported across state lines.
