Two members used the remonstrance period to deliver contrasting messages about immigration, due process and the rule of law.
Representative Chilton spoke first, saying recent federal actions involving a deported U.S. citizen, identified in her remarks as "mister Abrego Garcia," and a separate judicial arrest signal a threat to the rule of law and due‑process protections. "This is not about a man. This is about a process," Chilton said, urging colleagues to "stand with one unified voice that we respect due process, and that we will fight to uphold the rule of law." Chilton described court orders that had not been followed and framed the situation as a constitutional crisis concerning separation of powers.
Representative Juncker followed with a sharply critical remonstrance on immigration enforcement. Juncker described recent arrests of Honduran nationals in Portland and characterized them as cartel operatives, saying authorities found a large quantity of drugs. He criticized what he called "Compassion, Oregon" and urged stricter deportation and removal policies for people who commit crimes after entering the country.
Both remarks were delivered during the remonstrance/announcements portion of the floor session and did not produce votes or formal actions. The transcript records Chilton calling for moral clarity and unified defense of due process; Juncker's remarks were strongly critical of current practices and law enforcement outcomes. No committee referrals or legislative motions resulted from the floor remonstrances in the recorded session.
