Seattle’s communist Mayor Katie Wilson has announced plans to mobilize the city’s police force to gather intelligence on ICE agents conducting immigration enforcement operations and share that information with “community partners” on the streets.
Wilson said she will also bar federal immigration officers from utilizing city-controlled property, “including parks, parking lots, plazas, vacant lots, garages, and Seattle Center – for civil immigration enforcement.”
The mayor urged other local government entities, including the Seattle School District and Seattle Municipal Court, to adopt similar restrictions.
“Whoever you are, and wherever you come from: if Seattle is your home, then this is your city,” Wilson said in a statement.
Specifically, the mayor directed the Seattle Police Department “to investigate, verify, and document reports of immigration enforcement activity.”
Under the mayor’s plan, if a federal immigration enforcement operation is underway in the city, officers will be sent to the location to document the activity “with in-car and body-worn video, verify the identification of apparent federal agents, and secure scenes of potentially unlawful acts to gather evidence for prosecutors,” KOMO News reported.
Additionally, the city will mandate “closer cooperation between departments and community [anti-ICE] organizations, sharing information through a hotline operated by a community-led partner to connect residents with resources and support.”
Wilson also announced the launch of the Stand Together Seattle Initiative, inviting private property owners to post notices stating that federal agents may not access their property without a warrant.
City employees will receive training on how to report and respond to federal law enforcement activity and “conduct privacy reviews to limit potential data exposure, including reviewing data-sharing agreements in vendor contracts.”
The self-identified Democrat-Socialist said the city will allocate $4 million, previously appropriated by the City Council, to left-wing organizations providing legal defense to illegal aliens and “community support.”
Wilson urged the city to move quickly to organize and “keep people safe.”
Seattle Police Chief Shon Barnes said officers will continue to focus on public safety regardless of immigration status and comply with laws barring participation in immigration enforcement. While the department has no authority over federal agents or policies, Barnes said officers will document incidents if notified.
“The Seattle Police Department’s primary responsibility is the life safety of all people,” he said.....SNIP
It's NOT being "allowed", it's being *scripted*. We are going to get the invocation of the Insurrection Act, but does so is not a matter of signing a piece of paper, it is a planned process part of which is planting the foundation such that when signed, there is wide approbation of the order. Wilson is likely "Central Casting", as it facilitates the eventual (near term? Imminent?) invocation of the Act.
Or die. Like they did under Johnson and Clinton.
whi9ch is what doxing is-
“Doxxing—the malicious exposure of personal identifying information—and swatting—the false reporting of emergencies to provoke armed law enforcement responses—are increasingly deployed in targeted campaigns against public officials, journalists, healthcare providers, and other individuals. These tactics pose serious risks to physical safety, digital security, and civic participation. Law enforcement agencies and emergency response systems are frequently strained by the volume and sophistication of such threats. “
Normies won’t run for office in deep blue cities. It’s not safe.
All pretty much illegal on several levels. Arrest the bitch.
Wow, that’s straight out’a the fascist playbook!
The officers themselves should file civil suit. I doubt very much she has any kind of qualified immunity for this action. If there was a different governor there would be a possibility of her being removed from office.
The DOJ should also investigate her for violating the civil rights of those ICE officers. I think a case could be made for that.
“pointing out the sovereignty of the Feds over local laws ...”
Over immigration laws.
It is right and fitting to use the Oxford comma. Otherwise you end up with insurrection!
Talk about illegal orders! Where’s senator mark kelly to warn the police dept about true illegal orders.
This is the definition of insurrection... to foment crime upon federal officials in their legal capacity.
The Dem Party went from shipping Elian Gonzalez by GUNPOINT back to Cuba since he was more likely to vote Republican, to protecting ALL illegal alien criminals just so they could get a permanent voting block to vote for their sorry asses
Yeah, I seem to remember that too...
Nope. It means the Constitution is the supreme law of the land. If a local or state law does not run afoul of the Constitution it does not have to mimic Federal law unless Congress passes a law to that effect. An example is the ADA. States may adopt their own version of the ADA but it can’t be less stringent than the federal law.
Immigration laws are established as being under the Executive branch in the Constitution so states can’t (not that they don’t try) pass their own immigration laws.
This will go on until the president decides to put a stop to it.

If it’s just show (red meat) for the Left, then that’s one thing. But if this even slightly crosses the line into Obstruction or (or any other criminal activity), then the hammer needs to be dropped by the Feds.
Sedition requires violence or the advocacy of violence
*************************
If ordering a police force to stand down during a riot, isn’t advocacy of violence, then what is?
Any society, whether governmental or otherwise, which selects a woman as it’s leader is doomed to failure.
Name me one large scale, successful matriarchy in this world.
There ain’t one!
God made Eve as a helper for Adam and like a dummy, he followed her lead and got banished from the garden (lesson No. 1).
I expect a vigilante movement to get started.
The politicians are now the enemy.
The federal debt is ~$400,000/American citizen full-time worker.
Many of us don’t have that kind of money and never will.
