Oregon Coast City Sues Feds to Halt ICE Detention Center
Oregon DOJ demands environmental reviews before ICE detention center construction amid concerns over lack of transparency from DHS and ICE, with a federal judge temporarily halting related activities.
- On Monday, Oregon Department of Justice attorneys filed an amended motion asking U.S. District Judge Ann Aiken to block any ICE detention centers at Newport Municipal Airport, Newport, Oregon without environmental-impact assessments.
- Local plaintiffs had already filed suit last month after Newport nonprofit Fishermen's Wives and Lincoln County sued over the helicopter relocation and federal meetings at Newport airport.
- Emails and vendor requests show Team Housing Solutions, Inc. sought 200 hotel rooms this month through 2026, while Deployed Resources LLC asked local caterers about feeding 215 people daily with three meals, matching ICE National Detention Standards.
- U.S. District Judge Ann Aiken approved two temporary restraining orders requiring the U.S. Coast Guard rescue helicopter to remain in Newport airport until the litigation concludes, preserving Newport search-and-rescue operations.
- With DHS and ICE silent, state lawyers say they had to reconstruct plans from public reports, while plaintiffs warn an ICE facility would harm Newport's tourism-dependent economy.
