Plans Emerge for Potential ICE Detention Facility in Coastal Oregon, Lawmakers React

BY NATE SCHWARTZ

Editor Newport residents turned out in huge numbers on November 12 in response to emerging reports that the Department of Homeland Security had relocated their Coast Guard Helicopter to the base here in North Bend amid interest in opening an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center in the area.

The facility would be the ﬁrst opened in Oregon, which is one of a handful of states yet to agree to abetting ICE in their recent shows of force against immigrant communities by building large scale holding facilities like Alligator Alcatraz. Oregon is a longtime sanctuary state and therefore any such facility would be in violation of those sanctuary laws.

Community members ﬁrst smelled smoke when Team

Housing Solutions, a federal contractor known for building federal support facilities, sent a letter of interest to the City about leasing 4.3-acres of land at the Newport Municipal Airport in order to “support federal operations” there. Soon job listings began emerging for positions assisting DHS and ICE with their operations.

After an impassioned response from the community, and afﬁrmations from their local ofﬁcials

that they would help ﬁght the facility, it was announced that Team Housing Solutions had withdrawn their inquiry.

Many were concerned with a greater presence of ICE agents along the coast. ICE’s tactics have become the object of great scrutiny since they we’re given $170 billion in funding over the next four years by Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’. Agents have been seen to be acting with impunity, wearing face coverings and

operating without badges or clear identiﬁcation. Despite the claims that they would only go after ‘the worst of the worst’, ICE agents have apprehended those attending their legal immigration hearings, along with several full U.S. citizens and legal residents. A DHS spokesperson told Oregon Public Broadcasting of their plans to continue expanding

Bandon VFW Celebrates Veterans Day with a Collaboration from

the Friends of Parks and Recreation

BY NATE SCHWARTZ Editor

Bandon’s VFW Post 3440

celebrated Veterans Day in style on November 11. Affectionately known as ‘The Post’, the Frank C. High Medal of Honor Post 3440 has been a bastion for local veterans, providing community for those who have served in the branches of our Nation’s Military during foreign conﬂict.

The day began with Flags Across Bandon helping to put up ﬂags all around the city in celebration of its veterans, along with another crew distributing them to local cemeteries. A 40-vehicle

parade ensued, with the South Coast Patriot Guard’s motorcycle brigade joining the fun. It all culminated in a community barbecue, with 100 folks being served lunch at The Post. Over 50 of them were veterans, who of course ate for free.

Before everyone had their ﬁll, a presentation was held announcing a collaboration between Friends of Bandon Parks and Recreation (FOBPR) and The Post. The local non-proﬁt, who helps to promote further support for the area’s parks and activities,

Can An Opponent of Public Lands Safeguard Them for Us?

By Matt Witt

When I’m hiking and photographing in one of the West’s national monuments, I sometimes see a fox out looking for food or just resting after a long night of hunting.

I admire foxes’ intelligence and beauty – but I don’t invite them back to my rural neighborhood to guard the chicken coops that supply us with eggs.

Instead of guarding the chickens, they would be devouring them at the first opportunity.

I thought about foxes guarding chicken coops recently when the Trump administration nominated Steve Pearce to head the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM).

The BLM oversees more than 100 of the West’s most special places that are

people living in this country are tired of the rhetoric that we are creeping towards fascism. We can always let the historians argue over the definitions, at the same time, it is pretty clear that this president wants to be an authoritarian. Whether you agree with him or not, his own words and actions are that of someone who wants to be able to wield power with no one standing in his way. That is an authoritarian, pure and simple. That being said, this wannabe authoritarian is going to run head first into that wall that is America. Unlike authoritarian leaders in other parts of the world, the president doesn’t have the history or luxury of trying to centralize power in a country that has a

legacy of not abiding those who wanted to amass power.

We don’t have a history of kings, monarchs, theocrats, or anything that even resembles such. Some people think this might be our undoing, that our lack of familiarity with such behavior might let us stumble into something that is antithetical to republican democracy. I think that this is misguided.

As a people, we are the ones historically who refused to have the wool pulled over our eyes. We are a nation that has its roots in telling authoritarians that we won’t suffer their poor judgment, greed, and selfishness.

In the rural area that I grew up in, we had a saying, “ don’t pee down my leg and tell me it’s raining”. That saying comes

from New Mexico, he co-authored a letter to President Trump that called for abolishing or drastically reducing such national monuments as Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument in Oregon; Grand Canyon-Parashant, Vermilion Cliffs, Sonoran Desert, and Ironwood Forest in Arizona; Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante in Utah;

from people who weren’t going to be subjugated. That saying still resonates and is still applicable today. These United States of America will be here long after this period of unstable leadership passes. The evidence of that unstable leadership surrounds you every day. Prices are still up, people who said that they are pursuing peace are actively doing the opposite, and what we are seeing and hearing on television and in print doesn’t match what’s going on in our lives. It’s definitely not raining.

It’s all Fun and Games at the Library

By Jenny Brownfield

And Emily Church November is International Games Month and the staff at the Coos Bay Public Library are happy to help you join in on the fun. We have games of all types that you can enjoy at home or sample with other community members at our monthly Game Night. Tabletop gamers rejoice! We have over 150 board games available for checkout, many of which would cost $40+ if purchased on your own. These include everything from kids’ games like ‘Pete the Cat Groovy Friendship Game’ and ‘It’s a Small World’ to more complicated games like ‘Dune’ or ‘Settlers of Catan’ (and its many expansion packs and variants). If classic games are more your cup of tea, we also have nostalgic picks like ‘Monopoly’, ‘Scrabble’, and ‘Trivial Pursuit’. Whether you like focusing on strategy, cooperation, or puzzles, we invite you to come check out (pun intended) our selection. If you are looking to meet other teen & adult players, try our monthly Game Night on the last Friday of each month. We provide games, snacks, and beverages – you bring your competitive spirit!

If you enjoy video games, we carry a diverse array of titles for gam-

ing systems such as Play Station (2-5), Xbox One, and Switch. Instead of spending $70 on a game you may or may not like, try one for free with your library card. Each card holder can check out three games at a time, giving you plenty to do indoors during our wet winter. Whether you enjoy cozy life sims, roguelikes, role-playing games, or first-person shooters, our collection of video games promises to show you the latest & greatest both AAA and indie game studios have to offer.

If you are looking for an activity that is a bit more relaxing, try one of our jigsaw puzzles. We always keep community puzzles on our big library tables behind new fiction, and doesn’t working on a puzzle while gazing out our large windows at the

rain sound just delightful?

If you prefer to do a puzzle at home, we have dozens of them waiting for you. From a simple 300 piece to a challenging double-sided 1000 piece, you’ll surely find a puzzle with a difficulty level & design to light up your winter days. As an added bonus, puzzles are “checked out” on an honor system. No need for a card; just let us know how many you are taking and bring them back when you’re done!

So if you are looking for a way to celebrate International Game Month without breaking the bank, or just to while away a rainy afternoon and stay out of “Trouble,” take a “Risk” at the Coos Bay Public Library and we will be happy to “Clue” you in to a game that’s right for you. We promise you won’t be “Sorry!”

Clark, born November 1921—a man whose devotion to country spanned two branches, three decades, and three major conflicts.

Carl Clark enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in 1939, serving with valor in the Pacific Theater during World War II. He fought in the pivotal campaigns of Guadalcanal and the Marshall Islands. In 1947, he continued his service in the newly formed United States Air Force, serving through the Korean War and retiring in 1961 with the rank of Master Sergeant. He was awarded the Korea Service Medal for honorable service.

Carl’s legacy is not only one of military distinction—it is a testament to quiet perseverance and enduring character. He embodied the strength of those

were donating and planting a number of shrubs and trees on VFW property as a show of support for local veterans.

Captain Wade Troxell, a U.S. Marine Corp veteran and spokesperson for FOBPR, spoke on behalf of both communities when he announced the donation. Troxell is the middle of three generations of service members from his family, with his father an Air Force mechanic during WWII and his son currently a HUEY pilot at Camp Pendelton.

“As veterans, we know that unfortunately its not all good or happy memories that we carry. Keeping these memories sacred and alive, however, is important in order to solidify the legacy of those who may have fallen in service to our country,” said Cpt. Troxell in his address. “Living with these unique experiences also helps to resonate that Veterans are different.”

That mission is to advocate for ‘thriving parks and recreational opportunities’ in the Bandon area. FOBPR, who were founded in 2021, conducts fundraising efforts and secures grants to help expand recreational opportunities for generations to come. Troxell himself is a birdwatcher, and was seeking volunteer opportunities when he found the Friends around two years ago. A graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, he was the perfect go between for the two organizations.

who serve without fanfare, who carry the weight of history with humility, and who shape peace through resolve. This Veterans Day, his life and service were formally recognized at the annual Southwestern Oregon Veterans Outreach luncheon—a gathering that honors the stories and sacrifices of our region’s veterans. Carl’s name was lifted in reverence, reminding all present of the depth and dignity of a life well-lived. In honoring Carl Clark, we remember more than a veteran— we remember a legacy that endures. May his memory continue to inspire gratitude, reflection, and a deeper commitment to the values he upheld. Andrew Bice North Bend

“Our core mission focuses on parks and recreational opportunities, so this was a little bit of a fringe of that,” said Troxell. “Knowing that we wanted to do something from a planting standpoint, we normally do that in fall in one of the parks. This year we selected an organization and said ‘Let’s do something together’. Through that we can honor veterans and still fulfill our own mission.”

The trees were purchased from Stillwater Natives Nursery. Owner Darcy Grahek helped to coordinate the mulching and planting, along with Luis Campos who did a lot of the physical planting itself. The shrubs will provide a bit of landscaping and provide bit of separation between the Post and the adjacent cemetery.

“It is a salute. It’s our way to honor the local veterans. There’s a large contingent, they’re very active in the community. It’s our way of saying thank you, not only for

their service, but for their long-standing contributions to the community,” closed Troxell.

The Post was originally formed back in 1936 by its namesake Frank C. High and a group of 26 veterans. Since, it has served as a source of community and pride to all local veterans who have seen the battlefield. It seeks to foster that community and camaraderie, while providing support for any veterans who need help accessing services or adjusting back to civilian life.

The Post’s canteen in open 4-7 on Thursday-Tuesday, and every week serves Friday night dinners followed by karaoke. You can help support local vets by attending, or by donating. More information is available on their official website: vfw3440.org

"Having

to lead this group of legislators," Boice stated. “I'm enthused about this challenge.”

The caucus, composed of both state representatives and senators from both sides of the aisle, acts as a uniﬁed front in the legislature, advocating for the interests of the seven counties, twenty-two cities and twenty-three ports that line the Oregon coast.

“With four ports in my district (Brookings-Harbor, Gold Beach, Port Orford and Bandon), plus what I'm learning and the work we're doing to assist the Paciﬁc Coast Intermodal Port and Railway System, the timing for me, my staff and District couldn't be better,” said Boice.

The caucus’s primary mission is to promote policy that

“Our State Representatives and Senators stand ready to tackle the needs of our coastal communities, from tourism and economic development, to livability, ﬁshing and natural resources, in this uniquely important region,” Boice said.

The Coastal Caucus’s work spans a variety of critical areas affecting coastal residents and their industries. These mostly include: economic development, policy and legislation, stakeholder engagement and natural resource management.

The core economic development function is to promote the economic health of the rural regions, which includes key industries like tourism, ﬁshing and ports. The group hosts the annual Oregon Coast Economic Summit to bring policy makers and community members together to advance these goals.

The policy and legislation caucus develops and champions legislation on diverse issues, including housing, local law enforcement stafﬁng and preparing for natural hazards

like tsunamis, to name a few.

One of the most important events are the stakeholder engagement sessions. This is where members actively engage with constituents and industries on complex issues, such as collaborating with the ﬁshing community, and other stakeholders, regarding the development of offshore wind energy, ensuring that local communities receive beneﬁts and that they are protected from negative impacts amongst other things.

Equally important is the management of our natural resources. This group addresses the sustainable management and use of the coast's unique ocean and natural resources.

In essence, the Oregon Coastal Caucus ensures that the speciﬁc concerns of the coastal region are heard and addressed in state policy and funding decisions, striving for collaboration and consensus among its diverse membership.

"The Oregon Coast is world-renowned and a vital part of our state’s geography, economy and cultural diversity,” said Boice. “I know we'll make a positive difference.” e police blotter is a public record of incidents as reported by law-enforcement agencies.

By Mary Schamehorn As I See It

e rst two stories I am sharing came o the front page of the July 8, 1948, Western World.

e rst story tells an interesting story of a man who later became a long-serving sheri of Curry County.

“Allen Boice, Jr., of Langlois, ( rst photo) was taken to R.V. Leep Memorial Hospital Saturday a ernoon suffering from severe burns on this le leg and right arm.

“Boice, fueling his car at the Bear Creek service station, splashed gasoline on his clothes. Getting back into the car, he struck a match to light a cigarette and his clothes ignited. He tried to extinguish the blaze by rolling on the ground, but was unsuccessful until a companion, Vern Wilcox, came from the nearby store and smothered the ames with his letterman’s sweater.

“Wilcox rushed Boice to the hospital at Bandon where he was treated and discharged Sunday. Boice is the son of Judge and Mrs. Allen H. Boice, Sr., of Langlois. He was one of 12 children, who also included the late Mary Capps and Ada Campbell. e photograph is taken from the front cover of River Rogue Sheri , a fascinating story of Boice, and a controversy which swirled around him near the end of his 10-year career as sheri . at is a story for another day. e second story tells about a 1947 law that restricted the ocean beaches and its shores from use by cars and aircra (second photo). It allowed county judges, like my grandfather Coos County Judge L.D. Felsheim, to determine which areas of the beach where “there shall be no travel by motor vehicles, or landing of any aircra except for an emergency landing. A portion of the Bandon beach area has in the past been restricted, but under the new act, denite areas must be posted in order to make enforcement e ective.” e third story, from the Nov. 30, 1950, Western World is headlined: “Lad Receives Ball Signed by Red Sox.”

“Larry Sabin, son of Mrs.

Al Lively, now owns what many American boys dream of. Larry is the proud possessor of a baseball which has been autographed by all the Boston Red Sox baseball players, sent to him by Bobby Doerr (third photo), second baseman for the Red Sox. Doerr also sent along an autographed picture of himself. Doerr and his wife are now vacationing at a place which they own at Illahe, up the Rogue River.” I took the photo of Bobby Doerr when Rich Armstrong (one-time baseball coach at North Bend) and I visited his home at Illahe in the mid-1980s.

* * Tye Rauschert, son of former Bandon residents Jim and Toni Rauschert, was named 4A Coach of the Year last week. Tye is the rst-year head coach at Junction City. He is the nephew of Missy Rauschert Hagopian of Bandon.

* * In other sports news, Tiger cross-country coach Brent Hutton was selected by the Oregon Athletic Coaches Association as the Oregon nominee for the National Federation of High Schools 2024-25 Coach of the Year award for girls’ cross county. A spokesman for the Bandon Booster Club said, “the incredible honor recognizes Coach Hutton’s hard work, leadership and the positive impact he’s made on our student-athletics and the Bandon cross-country program.” He will now represent Oregon in the Section 8 awards, competing against top coaches from Washington, Montana, Idaho, Alaska and Wyoming.

* * I was sorry to learn that Bud Gearhart, a former resident of Bandon, died Nov. 4 at the age of 95. He and his wife Betty, who survives, moved to Coos Bay in 2002. Other survivors include his son Rick Gearhart (Lissa), son Randall Gerhart (Janell), and daughter Sandra Merritt. He was predeceased by his sonin-law Roger Merritt. e Gearharts moved to Bandon in 1951.

* * *

e topic for this Tuesday’s Meet and Greet, presented by Southern Coos Hospital and Health Center, is the new Senior Life Solutions program, which will feature Bobby Powers, regional director, and Kristen Crusoe, on-site director. e program is coming soon to SCHHC, o ering outpatient services designed to meet the unique needs of individuals, typically 65 and older, experiencing depression and/or anxiety related to life changes o en associated with aging. e program begins at noon at Bandon Fisheries Warehouse.

e story of the 1912 Seeley and Anderson train wreck will be the Meet and Greet for Nov. 18. e story of the photo-rich program from Bandon’s History Museum will be shared by volunteer Jim Proehl.

Representatives of the Gravel Point development will present an evening program Wednesday, Nov. 19, at the Fisheries Warehouse, with the Phase 1 update from 5 to 5:30 p.m.; the Phase 11 Master Plan from 5:30 to 6:15, followed by questions and answers until 7. Nov. 19 is also the night of the Chamber Mixer at Sweet Peas from 5 to 7, and a joint meeting of the City Council and the School Board to talk about the joint workforce housing project, at 7 p.m. at e Barn.

* *

Coming Events: First Presbyterian Church will have their annual bake sale ursday, Nov. 20, at Hennick’s from 10 am. until 4 p.m., featuring home-baked goodies for the holidays.

* * * e beautiful new bench in front of the Continuum has been purchased by his friends to honor the life of the late Brian Vick, for his service to the community as a long-time member of the hospital board, former mayor, a long-time city councilor and a member of the Bandon History Museum board of directors. Vick died recently a er a battle with pancreatic cancer.

* * * A Facebook post reported that at 11:30 p.m. on Nov. 8, a vehicle crashed into a utility pole on Highway 42s in front of Bandon Mini Storage. e pole was said to have been completely sheared o . ere was no other information available.

* * e public will begin to feel the impact of the huge transportation funding bill that was passed on Sept. 19 by the Oregon Legislature. Increases will include: base title fees for nearly all vehi-

cles will increase by $139; base registration fees for most vehicles will increase by $42 a year; an additional surcharge for vehicles with a combined rating of 40+ MPG and electric vehicles will increase by $30 a year. e 10-year $4.3 billion dollar package will raise almost all transportation fees and taxes, including adding 6 cents to the gas tax, which is expected to raise $90 million a year.

* * * As Oregon State University begins the search for a new head football coach, Jonathan Smith, former OSU coach and now at Michigan State, has been mentioned. John Canzano, sports columnist, pointed out that if Michigan State red Smith at the end of the season, he would receive 62 monthly payments of $509,000 from December 2025 to January 2031. Smith’s contract includes a provision that requires him to make a good-faith e ort to seek coaching employment elsewhere should he be red without cause.

Canzano pointed out that he could work somewhere at a heavily discounted monthly salary and have Michigan State pick up most of the tab.

* * * Not sure how much it cost, but it appears that most of the envelopes that were included with the recent tax bills sent out by the county had the window on the wrong side to accommodate

the stub that was supposed to be returned with your payment. I received four tax bills, and three of them had the wrong envelope, while one actually had the window

detention facilities for ICE operations, though did not mention the coast directly.

“Under President Trump and Secretary [Kristi] Noem’s leadership, [DHS] is working at turbo speed on cost-effective and innovative ways to deliver on the American people’s mandate to arrest and deport the worst of the worst including gang members, pedophiles, terrorists, rapists, and murderers,” that statement said. “Secretary Noem is working with state and local governments to secure greater and more cost-effective detention space, like Alligator Alcatraz, Speedway Slammer, Louisiana Lockup and Cornhusker Clink.”

There was also huge trepidation over the relocation of the MH-65 Dolphin Helicopter crew that had used Newport as a launching point to serve the area, which boasts the largest

commercial fishing fleet in the state. On the eve of crabbing season, this would leave sections of the South and Central Coast without rapid response in case of emergency on the water.

U.S. Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley along with U.S. Reps. Suzanne Bonamici and Val Hoyle questioned this decision in an open letter to Secretary Noem, where they demanded answers about their plans for Newport.

“Oregonians at the local, state, and federal level have fought long and hard to preserve this crucial part of our coastal safety net, which is why we are so deeply concerned to hear reports that DHS has relocated this helicopter without any notice to our communities,” they wrote Noem. “This move endangers all those at sea, and will certainly undermine search and rescue operations, particularly ahead of

crabbing season.”

It has yet to be seen whether the Coast Guard presence will be restored ahead of a crucial time for local fisherman. But, in a testament to the power of locals making their voices heard, it seems the community has successfully repelled interest in the ICE detention center.

“It’s not us alone,” said Newport Mayon Jan Kaplan to a Country Media reporter at the Lincoln County Leader. “What happens here effects every town along the coast. The helicopter is not just for Newport. It is for the whole coast, Lincoln City, Depoe Bay, so it’s how do we organize for that. We are committed as a council and it’s time to make some noise.”

The World poses the question to you: Would you support an ICE detention facility here in Coos County?

Trump administration tells states to ‘undo’

SNAP bene ts paid for November, Oregon

Oregon distributed full SNAP payments to the state's roughly 757,000 recipients overnight Thursday immediately after a judge ordered funding be released. Gov. Tina Kotek said President Donald Trump's demands will have no impact on that funding and that SNAP recipients can continue to use their Oregon Trail cards as they normally would.

Following a late Friday emergency ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court, the Trump administration has instructed states that authorized full November nutrition assistance beneﬁts to return a portion, another unprecedented reversal for a program that helps 42 million people afford groceries.

A Saturday memo from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Service said states should fund 65% of beneﬁts for users of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, often called food stamps.

Those that had authorized full payments in line with earlier administration guidance should “immediately undo” that action, according to the memo.

“To the extent States sent full SNAP payment ﬁles for November 2025, this was unauthorized,” the memo said. “Accordingly, States must immediately

undo any steps taken to issue full SNAP beneﬁts for November 2025. Please advise the appropriate FNS Regional Ofﬁce representative of steps taken to correct any actions taken that do not comply with this memorandum.”

President Donald Trump and top administration ofﬁcials have said they cannot pay full SNAP beneﬁts during the government shutdown that began Oct. 1 and instead, under court orders, are using a contingency fund to make partial payments.

Shutdown chaos surrounds SNAP Saturday’s guidance from Patrick A. Penn, the department’s deputy under secretary for food, nutrition and consumer services, marked the latest turnaround in a chaotic few days for the agency, states that administer SNAP and the millions of Americans who depend on it to afford food.

Penn wrote that, in light of the Supreme Court’s order pausing lower court rulings that USDA must pay full November beneﬁts, the administration was returning to its position that SNAP beneﬁts should be funded at 65%.

States — including Wisconsin and Kansas — that issued full beneﬁts did so under a Friday memo, also signed by Penn, that said states should authorize full payments for SNAP, consistent with a Thursday ruling in federal court.

Kansas, Wisconsin, Oregon govs express dismay

Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly, a Democrat, in a late Friday statement expressed disappointment with the administration’s appeal to the Supreme Court and noted the state had authorized full payments earlier in the day for all eligible Kansans.

“These Kansans, most of them children, seniors or people with disabilities, were struggling to put food on their plates,” she said. “Why the President would petition the highest court to deny food to hungry children is beyond me. It does nothing to advance his political agenda. It does not hurt his perceived enemies. It only hurts our most vulnerable and our reputation around the globe.”

In a Sunday statement, Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers, a Democrat, ﬂatly refused to try to claw back any authorized beneﬁts. The state acted in compliance with a court order, he said.

“After we did so, the Trump Administration assured Wisconsin and other states that they were actively working to implement full SNAP beneﬁts for November and would ‘complete the processes necessary to make funds available,’” he said. “They have failed to do so to date.”

Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek said her state will not comply.

“Oregon acted lawfully, given the federal court’s directive and the communications with the USDA, and my decision to ensure SNAP beneﬁts went out quickly was in direct alignment with my food emergency declaration,” said Kotek, a Democrat. “I am disgusted that President Trump has the audacity to take taxpayers’ money away from them when they are in crisis. I have a question for the President: What would he prefer to spend the money on over groceries for people in need? This is ridiculous, immoral, and Oregon will ﬁght this every step of the way.”

U.S. Rep. Angie Craig of Minnesota, the top Democrat on the House Agriculture Committee, said in a statement: “Let’s be clear about what this is — the Trump administration is demanding that food assistance be taken away from the households that have already received it. They would rather go door to door, taking away people’s food, than do the right thing and fully fund SNAP for November

so that struggling veterans, seniors, and children can keep food on the table. It is incomprehensible, incompetent and inconsistent with our values as Americans.”

Court action

The earlier order, from U.S. District Chief Judge John J. McConnell Jr. in Rhode Island, told the department to use sources outside the contingency fund to make full November payments by Friday. The order was appealed to the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

But Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, acting on behalf of the high court, granted the administration’s request for an emergency stay on Friday night, speeding up the process for what Jackson said would then be an “expeditious” decision by the appeals court but also changing things yet again.

No longer, for the moment, required by a court order to pay full November beneﬁts, the administration instructed states in the Saturday memo to have the vendors that process payments to the electronic beneﬁt transfer cards withhold part of the month’s allotment.

“States must not transmit full benefit issuance files to EBT processors,” Penn wrote. “Instead, States must continue to process and load the partial issuance files that reflect the 35 percent reduction of maximum allotments detailed in the November 5 guidance.”

Shutdown negotiations

SNAP funding has been a key issue during the shutdown.

In a plan published Sept. 30, the USDA said it would continue to pay for the roughly $9 billion per month program through its contingency fund. The administration reversed itself 10 days later, telling states there would be no SNAP available for November.

A bipartisan U.S. Senate bill ﬁled Sunday would end the shutdown. It includes provisions to fully fund SNAP, the contingency fund and the $23 billion children nutrition programs fund that may be a source of emergency funding for SNAP if the shutdown persists.

gas, cattle, and mining industries.

Before becoming a member of Congress with the ﬁnancial backing of the oil and gas industry, Pearce owned a company that provided services to corporations in the oil business.

Earlier this year, the Trump administration

proposed a 75 percent reduction in the BLM’s conservation lands system.

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, who will be Pearce’s boss, announced a review of the future of all national monuments.

The White House also has issued a series of executive orders directing all federal agencies to prioritize the proﬁts of logging, mining, and oil and gas companies over conservation of public lands.

If Pearce and his cor-

porate allies tear up our public lands, these special places and the creatures that live in them may never recover, especially in this era of intensifying climate change. That’s what happens if, as the saying goes, a fox is called upon to guard the chicken coop. Matt Witt is a writer and photographer in rural Oregon.
