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
The number of federal laws she is breaking is astounding.
Then the police are now legitimate targets.
While I will leave it to Trump to invoke the insurrection act, I will simply note that this statement is literal gibberish. Even if you are from Seattle and have a proper home there, it is not "your city" since the private property is private property and the public property is there not for "your" good but for the common good.
But this is the kind of brain rot that wokeism and communism have introduced into our political discourse, making discourse impossible.
The President should call upon the States to raise up regiments of a total of 75,000 volunteers to suppress the rebellion. Some States, like Virginia, might not cooperate and we could see some of their top military minds like Colonel Lee resign from the Army and join the Rebellion.

Sedition requires violence or the advocacy of violence
This cannot be legal. Democrats emulating South Carolina prior to Civil War 1.
Businesses have been making smoke in anything that rolls, flies, or floats to get out of Seattle. The city is in Hugh and series trouble. This nonsense is merely purposeful distraction from what’s to come. Chaos is just like a hammer or screwdriver to a tradesman when you’re a leftist plying your trade.
Trump can only do what 34 Senators will support.
Isn’t that obstruction of justice?
*********************
Only if the law is still enforced. Sate/city law enforcement is now limited to the laws the mayor of the independent nation city chooses to enforce.
If this dumb commie b!tch thinks Seattle PD will comply she’s in for a surprise.
I expect announcement from the cop union soon.
That’s Domestic Terrorism.
When do actions like that become sedition?
*****************
When federal law is enforced. Just defund the insurrection cities.
Share with “trusted” communist organizations...... There, fixed the blue chart in the post.
Have you seen her picture?
When do actions like that become sedition?
*****************
When federal law is enforced. Just defund the insurrection cities.
That definitely is not what elected Katie.
I hope they nail her for this.
Swatting, as that’s what it is called, is illegal and is a serious federal crime in the United States, especially when it interferes with law enforcement operations. It is prosecuted under various statutes, including the False Information and Hoaxes Act (18 U.S.C. § 1038), which can lead to hefty fines, long-term imprisonment, or even life in prison if a fatality occurs.
So if a rioter gets information of an ICE action, and interferes with it, and is killed, the governor is in line for a life sentence.
