Oregon’s governor has been sued for commuting the sentences of nearly 1,000 convicted felons since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Gov. Kate Brown, a Democrat, has violated state law and the state’s constitution in letting the felons go free before their sentences are over, two district attorneys and four Oregon residents said in a recent filing to a circuit court in the state.
