05.03.2026 02:24 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Press Release The City of Coos Bay is aware of recent public concern regarding the potential development of an ICE detention facility in Coos County. Our inquiry has indicated that there is no current intention of locating such a facility in our County. The City of Coos Bay has done a comprehensive review of potential impacts, and we have concluded that a federal detention facility is not compatible with the Coos Bay area due to the following reasons: Public safety and municipal service infrastructure, including police, fire, emergency medical response, and code enforcement is at capacity, and is in place to serve the current residential and commercial population. A detention facility would impose significant additional burdens on these systems, diverting resources away from community needs, and creating operational risks and unfunded service demands. Given that tourism is a foundational economic engine for Coos Bay and the surrounding region, these impacts pose a direct threat to economic vitality. Any detention facility near tourism corridors can create measurable declines in visitor confidence and commercial activity. A detention facility in or near Coos Bay would undermine the City's tourism-based economy by: diminishing the area's reputation as a safe and welcoming coastal destination; reduce visitor traffic to waterfront attractions, lodging, and small businesses; create congestion, restricted-access zones, and security-related closures that interfere with recreation and tourism mobility, and discourage private investment in hospitality, retail, and...

You only have a short time to comment. They are trying to destroy our forests to enrich a few logging company executives and the politicians theyβve paid off.

Imagine what you would do if you were forced to give up your driverβs license.
How would you get to work? How would you get your meds? How would you vote?
For an example, many unhoused people (many of whom are trans) donβt have ID and it effectively renders them stateless.
