Officials Demand Answers About Newport Coast Guard

(Newport, OR) -- The Coast Guard has moved its helicopter from Newport Airport to North Bend and officials want to know why. During the crab season the helicopter is essential for ocean rescues. Newport City officials say a contractor has asked about building a 12-foot high fence around federally leased land at the airport and they want to know if the sewage treatment plant can handle additional waste. Democratic members of Oregon's Congressional delegation have asked the Department of Homeland Security what's being planned. They're concerned DHS is planning to build an ICE detention facility for immigration enforcement.
