A resolution condemning the broader pattern of overzealous, unjust, and dangerous enforcement actions carried out during recent federal immigration enforcement actions; reaffirming the City’s longstanding opposition to private, for-profit detention centers; supporting oversight of the United States Department of Homeland Security and operations at the Northwest Immigrant and Customs Enforcement Processing Center; calling on the Congress of the United States to take steps to ensure federal immigration enforcement agencies operate under clear standards that protect public safety, respect constitutional rights, and provide real accountability when those standards are violated; and calling on State leaders to take further actions to reaffirm the underlying principles of the Keep Washington Working Act.
