Immigrants held in Oregon prison — Immigrants from Latin America were transferred by immigration officials to a federal prison in Oregon, and a lawyer with a group of attorneys that wants to represent them says they’ve been denied access. Portland attorney Stephen Manning says Immigration and Customs Enforcement also has not made assurances the immigrants who authorities say came into the United States illegally will be able to meet with attorneys before they’re deported. Carissa Cutrell, a spokeswoman for ICE, said it is working to ensure that detainees have appropriate access to lawyers. Members of Oregon’s congressional delegation plan to visit the prison, in Sheridan, soon. U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley has been particularly critical of the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” policy that has seen immigrants separated from their children.

Search for missing fisherman — The U.S. Coast Guard has suspended its search for a man who had been fishing from the shore near Clatsop Spit. Petty Officer 1st Class Levi Read said the fisherman’s wife contacted authorities Wednesday morning after her husband failed to return home. He had sent her a text message Tuesday night. The Coast Guard responded with boats and a helicopter, but had no luck finding the 53-year-old Scappoose man.

Prostitution sentence — A man who authorities say brought two women from Idaho to Oregon to work as prostitutes has been sentenced to more than six years in federal prison. Anthony Jones, 36, was sentenced Wednesday after pleading guilty in federal court to charges of interstate transport of individuals for prostitution and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Eugene Police arrested Jones in March 2015 after a motel manager reported that Jones had pulled a gun on a man. Authorities say investigators found the handgun and learned that Jones had brought the two women to Eugene to perform commercial sex acts. In court documents, prosecutor Jeffrey Sweet said Jones “pressured, coerced and used women for his financial benefit.”
