U.S. Senator Ron Wyden will hold an open-to-all town hall Sunday, November 23 in Lincoln County. Heading into this 1:30 pm town hall at the Newport High School gym (322 NE Eads St., Newport), Wyden has held 1,137 open-to-all town halls in keeping his promise to hold at least one town hall each year in each of Oregon’s 36 counties. “The Oregon Way is all about showing up in our state’s communities, listening to everybody’s opinions and answering their questions,” Wyden said. “The Trump administration’s unilateral decisions to move a Coast Guard helicopter out of Newport -- putting fishermen’s lives at risk, and to explore the placement of an immigration detention facility in town has generated serious and justifiable local concerns in Lincoln County.” “I want to hear from Oregonians so I can keep battling to convey this coastal community’s views accurately and forcefully to Washington, DC,” Wyden said. “I expect the topics of the Coast Guard helicopter and an immigration detention facility will be front-and-center but like all my open-to-all town halls, no topic is off limits.” For everyone’s security, backpacks and large bags will not be allowed in the town hall.
The Toledo City Council will meet on Monday, November 24, to discuss and draft a resolution regarding the activities of the Department of Homeland Security in Lincoln County, supporting the position taken by the City of Newport on this issue and addressing the removal of the Coast Guard helicopter. For more background, the attached video is an excerpt from the November 19, 2025, City Council Meeting, which includes the full discussion that prompted the scheduling of this special meeting.
