Newport Crushes ICE Facility! (at least for now), With Mayor Jan Kaplan
Description
By now, many, if not most of you have heard that ICE has been secretly planning to build some kind of jail or detention facility in Newport here on the Oregon Coast.
The community pushback has been immediate, fierce, inspiring, and seemingly successful, at least so far.
This is a developing story, and only one skirmish in a wider war to protect our communities from these masked and lawless thugs.
The Newport City Council has been proactive, out front, and clear in their staunch opposition to ICE, so I invited Newport Mayor Jan Kaplan on to the show to talk through what’s going on with the facility, the huge groundswell of resistance, and what comes next.
Note: this interview was recorded on the morning on November 17th.
