Description

The Feds are tight-lipped, but officials and residents at Newport on the Central Oregon Coast have already seen enough “writing on the wall” that ICE wants to build an immigration holding and detention facility at the city’s municipal airport that they have filed a federal lawsuit to halt the project.  The suit, by the City of Newport, was filed on Monday, Dec. 22 against the Trump Administration asking a judge to step in and halt the construction of any U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Facility.  The complaint lists the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, ICE, the Coast Guard and their leaders as defendants.  City officials allege the federal government is behind funding and constructing a massive immigration detention and deportation facility at Newport which would harm the community’s tourism without any public input.  Local motels report they have already been contacted about availability and pricing for up to 200 rooms for a year for military housing, also, a local cater has been asked to provide a quote for up 215 meals per day.
