Oregon’s Coast Guard helicopter relocation from Newport to North Bend sparks legal action over safety and transparency.
Oregon Senator Ron Wyden held a town hall in Newport on November 23, 2025, addressing community outrage over the U.S. Coast Guard’s abrupt relocation of its rescue helicopter from Newport to North Bend, which residents and officials say jeopardizes maritime safety, especially for fishermen.
Wyden criticized the lack of transparency from the Coast Guard and pledged continued advocacy, while Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield announced plans to sue the Department of Homeland Security for failing to provide required public notice and risk assessments.
The move has prompted legal challenges from Lincoln County, the Newport Fishermen’s Wives, and state officials, echoing past efforts to block similar closures.
