On this edition of KBOO News in Depth:
KBOO's Althea Billings speaks with Street Roots reporter Jake Thomas about his article, "Unreckoned: Oregon is supposed to provide cash compensation to people sent to prison for crimes they didn’t commit. With many still waiting for payments, lawmakers consider revising the program."
Then, we listen in to testimony from Portlanders at the City Council Community and Public Safety Committee meeting on Tuesday, January 13th. The councilors are considering a new ordinance to ban law enforcement from wearing masks to conceal their identity, a widely criticized practiced used by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Many of the testifiers pushed for the council to go further to stopping ICE attacks in Portland.
