Waldport Oregon says "NOPE" to ICE, following strong protests in neighboring town, Newport [View all]

You may recall seeing Rachel Maddow's story about Newport, Oregon's resistance to a planned ICE facility on the central Oregon coast. (My town).



This week, Waldport - the town just south of Newport -- went on red alert when it was discovered that ICE was trying to contract to rent out an older, rundown resort to house ICE agents. Within hours, hundreds of people sent emails to Waldport City Council against ICE, and a city council meeting was held to address concerns. For now, the plans are on hold, but not fully decided yet.
