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
What needs to happen is this ignorant **** and many like her is have themselves or a family member be brutally victimized by an illegal ALIEN and then they MIGHT have a different view of things (which I call reality).
Otherwise these scumbags will never change.
I’d give the agitators each others’ addresses.
Mr. & Mrs. Somalian aren’t going to be able to cough up $20,000/year to medically insure their family or $18,000/year/kid to educate their children.
I don't remember volunteering to pick up the tab.
The Democrat Socialists are being funded by the Drug Cartels. ICE deports their Drug traffickers. No doubt about it.
With RINOS, never.
A lawbreaking Canadian wasn’t able to hammer some sense into a West Coast Democrat.
The DC elite will find out how much a company [Google] whose cellphone software takes two minutes to start up a phone, a company [Microsoft] who can’t get PC software stable after about 1000 attempts, and a company [Amazon] relying on Chinese industrial prowess are really worth.
The University of Washington is a fire of Marxist ideology that affects all of King County. King County keeps the DemonKKKrats in power for the entire state.
Can I ban Fish and Wildlife, Game Wardens, and Conservation Police from my land and public hunting grounds.
The Non Government Organizations get funded by the Democrats in state power using tax dollars. These NGOs fund Democrat candidates’ elections. Throw in the money from the Drug Cartels. The Democrats are fat with money to use for TV adds.
That's an odd thing to say. Have you seen any pictures of her? She certainly doesn't do anything for my Willie. She's on the ugly skank side of the spectrum.
Most don’t care what they look like. Liberal women love each other these days. It’s hard for the soy boiz to find a woman.
Seattle ordered to pay over $30 million for fatal shooting of teen in 2020 protest
Conspiracy to interfere with Federal Law Enforcement.
Arrest her.
Charge her, trial, conviction imprisonment in Leavenworth. Make her break rocks forever.

At the very least, seek an injunction, which would not require a jury trial to grant.
I don’t think Katie is immune to DOJ federal charges.
That’s insurrection in word and deed
You people need to stop whining. The guy who wrote the Proclamation below has been on the penny for 116 years and has a huge monument in Washington. Trump needs to shit or get off the pot:
By the President of the United States of America
"A Proclamation
Whereas the laws of the United States have been for some time past and now are opposed and the execution thereof obstructed in the States of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas by combinations too powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings or by the powers vested in the marshals by law:
Now, therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, in virtue of the power in me vested by the Constitution and the laws, have thought fit to call forth, and hereby do call forth, the militia of the several States of the Union to the aggregate number of 75,000 in order to suppress said combinations and to cause the laws to be duly executed.
The details for this object will be immediately communicated to the State authorities through the War Department".
The duties of the President set forth in Article II are very few. In fact, there are only five, one of which is: "He shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed"
President Lincoln, in the course of carrying out this duty, brought about the death of 700,000 Americans and destroyed 1/3 of the country. President Trump has a lot of room for maneuver here, that should go way beyond "support ICE".
It's not sedition. It's insurrection. And it won't stop until the President uses his rightful authority to stop it, or until he is overthrown.
Overturning the government is the goal of this leaderless, decentralized insurrection, and the opportunities to crush it are slipping away.
I think that she lacks the legal authority to ban federal law enforcement from anything. Further it is my understanding that it is a criminal offense to disclose the personal information of federal law enforcement. Suchactions are specifically prohibited under 18 U.S. Code § 119. I would love to see her ugly ignorant smug self satisfied lying ass in federal lockup. But the DOJ will talk tough and leave her otherwise alone if you can go by their history.
Wilson has banned ICE from any activity on city property. Aren’t the streets city property? Has she banned ICE from even being in the city?
