Nearly 50 Democratic lawmakers called for a watchdog investigation of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Tuesday after the agency confirmed it had been force-feeding immigrant detainees on a hunger strike.

Salem teacher Jamie Keene went to urgent care early this year after one of her fourth-grade students caused her to pull a muscle in her back.
With 33 students in her class at Schirle Elementary, Keene said one regularly hits her, pulls her hair and twists her arms when he gets overstimulated in class. He'd benefit from more individual attention and a smaller class, she said.

The White House said Trump would sign the bill and then declare a national emergency to try to shift money to wall-building from elsewhere in the federal budget. The bill, which averts another government shutdown, includes many other provisions.
On Feb. 5, 2019, thanks to Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, I got to do something most people will not do in a lifetime: I attended President Trump's State of the Union address.

U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici is one of nine new Democrats on a revived House select committee on climate change.
Her appointment Thursday by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is the latest in a series of assignments that have resulted in the first subcommittee chairmanship for the Beaverton Democrat in her seven years in the 1st District congressional seat of northwest Oregon.
Democrats won a majority in the 2018 election, giving them control of the chamber — and as a Democrat in the House's majority party for the first time, Bonamici has gained new prominence.
