We have credible information that the Alsi Resort has signed a contract with DHS to house ICE agents in Waldport. This has NOT yet come before the council — which means NOW is the moment to influence their stance before anything becomes official. We need everyone — Waldport residents, Oregonians, and out-of-state supporters — to flood the City with comments. HOW TO TAKE ACTION (30 seconds) Email comments to:  recorder@waldport.org Deadline for the December 10th Council Meeting:  1:30 PM, Wednesday, December 10th ICE HAS NO BUSINESS IN WALDPORT In your message, tell the City Council that you expect them to: 1.  Make a public statement opposing ICE on the Oregon Coast. Join the rest of the coastal communities who are standing firmly against ICE presence and the harm it brings. 2.  Commit to not approving any Special Use Permits — should the Alsi or anyone else file one related to ICE housing. 3.  Closely monitor the Alsi Resort and cite any zoning or code violations immediately to prevent DHS or ICE from gaining a foothold here.  WHAT TO SAY (suggested language - please use your own words if possible). "I urge the Waldport City Council to publicly oppose ICE presence on the Oregon Coast, decline any potential special use permits connected to ICE housing, and actively enforce zoning and code restrictions at the Alsi Resort. If ICE is allowed to house agents in Waldport, I will boycott the city and encourage others to do the same. ICE has no business in Waldport."  WHY THIS MATTERS ICE housing in Waldport would damage our safety, our values, and our reputation as a welcoming coastal community. We cannot allow ICE to quietly establish itself here. This is our town. Our coast. Our community. ICE HAS NO BUSINESS IN WALDPORT. #IndivisibleWaves #IceHasNoBusinessInWaldport

"This emergency declaration allows us on council to be able to get creative to work with our community partners." –Mai Vang

…Hoy said she was not in favor of the motion because it "didn't do enough." The crowd jeered at that statement.”…

State Senator Deb Patterson submitted testimony on behalf of the immigrant community. Although less than last week, the turnout was great! This meeting was so important, many young people attended, on a school night! Council members in person and online.
