Seattle mayor announces plan to block ICE activity, use police to verify federal agent IDs
KOMO TV News (seattle) ^ | january 29, 2026

Posted on 01/30/2026 12:41:49 PM PST by llevrok

(snip)As part of the changes, the mayor directed the Seattle Police Department to investigate, verify, and document reports of immigration enforcement activity. If officers are sent to a location where apparent enforcement is underway, they will 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, according to the announcement.(snip)

So Seattle police are to act as agents of insurrection against the federal government.

If I were a Seattle LEO, I would just disregard whatever the hell this bimbo says.

I wonder how many of the Seattle police are actually going to do that.

The Democrats are waging war against the United States of America, its people, and its laws. They are traitors, and the biggest threat we face for national survival. We have to always keep this in mind. No complacency, no thinking that the Democrats are just a regular American political party.

They talk a lot but never actually do anything. Someone some where is quietly reminding these mayors that they can’t order local law enforcement to go to jail to enhance the mayors pollical career

Blatant nullification and insurrection.

The administration needs to stop playing nice.

Who do these Dem mayors think they are? They aren’t ruling city-states.

Here's the mayor. (Photo taken last year.) She looks like she's 15 years old.

Trump has no desire to make examples of these Democrat Mayors...he is enabling this mess. Not sure if he is afraid to bring down the hammer on these people or worried what the optics will look like if he did get medieval on them... either way Trump could stop this if he had the political will to do so.

Nothing in law says the feds can act but only if the local yokels approve.

City of Seattle just got hit yesterday for $30 million to the victim’s family after the administration ordered the police to stand down and allow the CHOP campsite which then murdered to black kids.

Previous administration but one would think the lefty Seattle mayor would take a clue from this unlawful control of police.

Democrats strategizing and working to turn gun and badge against gun and badge, this is alongside their party’s attempts to turn GI against GI.

The Democrat Mayors are playing for keeps.

Imagine if every locality in the land decided to pick out which federal laws they didn’t like and impeded federal law enforcement in their jurisdiction.

There are many thousands of such federal laws that are unpopular in various jurisdictions.

Nullification is high stakes poker.
