Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek and Portland Mayor Keith Wilson are among the officials in Oregon and Washington responding after a man was shot and killed by federal officers in Minneapolis on Saturday morning.

Wyden thanked central coast residents for their passion in helping to bring a Coast Guard helicopter back to Newport.

Oregon’s senior senator addressed a variety of topics from rural healthcare to reforms that he hopes will happen later this year.

Local governments in Oregon have struggled with the extent to which they should resist or comply with increasingly aggressive federal immigration policy, but one town took a different approach.

On Sunday, hundreds of Newport residents told Oregon Senator Ron Wyden they want a Coast Guard helicopter returned, and an ICE detention center halted.

Sen. Wyden said he expects the topics of the Coast Guard helicopter and an immigration detention facility will be front-and-center at his next town hall on Sunday, Nov. 23, at Newport High School in Newport.

Sen. Ron Wyden said efforts are needed to help food banks recover after delay in SNAP benefit releases, and said he and other Oregon lawmakers will fight an ICE detention center in Newport.

The Northwest Forest Plan has long protected vulnerable species like spotted owls in federal forests along the West Coast.

As of Nov. 1, more than 75,000 Lane County residents have lost access to their SNAP benefits.
