The state of Washington filed a lawsuit against the Adams County Sheriff’s Office and Adams County on Monday for violating the Keep Washington Working Act, which established the state as a sanctuary for undocumented immigrants.
Attorney General Nick Brown argues in the complaint that the Adams County Sheriff’s Office, since at least 2022, has been “consistently engaged in several practices that violate state law.”
The lawsuit alleges that deputies have “unlawfully held people in custody based solely on their immigration status” and “have gone out of their way to enable federal immigration agents to interview or question people in custody, including transporting people in county vehicles expressly for that purpose.” Brown further alleges that the Adams County Sheriff’s Office shared the personal information of hundreds of Washingtonians with immigration officials, in violation of the state sanctuary law.
“Washington has the right and the responsibility to decide for itself how to use its own resources to keep residents safe and the economy strong,” the lawsuit says. “The State cannot stand by when elected officials publicly boast that they are breaking state law and putting their own communities at risk.”

FYI: Adams County is in Eastern Washington, a "red" part of the state.
ICE just needs to deputize these LE people. Problem solved.
In a blue state like the Soviet of Washington, federal law that is “red” doesn’t count, at least according to the AG.
So let me get this straight, Washington State charges a sheriff’s office for violating state law that violates federal law. In other words, the sheriff is following federal law. Yup, that’s liberals for you.
The state administers the oath of office to all LE officers or requires the oath to be given. The oath includes a vow to uphold the US Constitution. The Constitution includes the Federal Supremacy clause that places the state in an inferior position. Ergo the Sheriff is following the superior law and the state law is unconstitutional.
Another Soros AG heard from...
Exactly, the State may assume leadership of the Sheriffs office in the entire State. WA is just that fascist.
O.k. “Undocument immigrants” is another example of the Left trying to control and twist language. These are not legal temporary workers who have hit a paperwork SNAFU. These are illegal entrants who do not have any legitimate reason for being allowed in the country let alone remain here.
Certainly not immigration law.
Maybe Bondi indicts the Washington state AG. If not, why not?
The State AG will have to prosecute the Adam’s county Sheriff in Adam’s County.
Good luck getting a conviction; or even a civil judgment.
A world turned upside down.
