Message from Shasti Conrad, Chair of the Washington State Democratic Party:

You may have seen the reports that the Trump Administration is planning a large-scale deportation of immigrants from blue “sanctuary cities.” We must be prepared to protect our friends and neighbors from illegal searches and incarceration.

If you see ICE activity taking place or any marked vehicles, please report it immediately to Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network at 1-844-724-3737.

Know your rights. Do not open the door. “ICE warrants” authorities may claim to have are not legal to enter your home. ICE warrants must be signed by a local judge to enter your home.

If you need legal assistance, call the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project at 1-800-445-5771.

Other services for immigrants:
El Centro de la Raza
Refugee Women’s Alliance
Chinese Information & Service Center
East African Community Services
The International Rescue Committee in Seattle
Jewish Family Services – 253-850-4065
Archdiocese of Seattle – 206-274-3194

Please spread these resources on your social media channels and among your communities. These are dark times, but we can get through them if we stick together and look out for each other.

In solidarity,

Chair Shasti Conrad
Washington State Democrats
