Helpful information regarding warrants and what to do if ICE is at your door.

ICE raids are happening in our State. Be safe, be vigilant, and know your rights. Here are some helpful tips to download. Remember, Immigration Enforcement is ONLY allowed to enter the public areas of your business, and do not have the right to enter your home. They require a Warrant signed by a Judge to search any other areas. The warrant must say "U.S. District Court" or "Washington State Court" and have a judges signature. Any warrant from Homeland Security or form I-200 or I-205 is an Administrative Warrant and is not valid to enter your private premises.

Call WAISN if you see a raid or need help: 1-844-724-3737

Thank goodness for Judge Coughenour:

“I’ve been on the bench for over four decades, I can’t remember another case where the question presented is as clear as this one is. This is a blatantly unconstitutional order,” Coughenour, an appointee of Ronald Reagan, said from the bench. “There are other times in world history where we look back and people of goodwill can say where were the judges, where were the lawyers?”

Judge in Seattle blocks Trump order on birthright citizenship nationwide Judge John Coughenour was blistering in his criticism of President Donald Trump's order to end birthright citizenship, calling it "blatantly unconstitutional."
