#BREAKING: More details! Court documents show 2 suspects were arrested today in EAGR/EAGER tagging case and now facing FELONY level malicious mischief charges. @SeattlePD arrested them at 1208 Pine St in #Seattle, allegedly caught them in act. Big win for @MayorofSeattle.🧵👇🏽
SUSPECT #1: Police say 36 year old Casey Cain admitted to tagging the wall of building today with “EAGER.” Report shows he also has a tattoo on him that says “EAGER.” Arrested for felony malicious mischief. Judge set $10K bail. #Seattle
SUSPECT #2: Police say 37 year old Jose G. Betancourth was arrested at scene and facing felony malicious mischief charge. Judge set bail at $10k. He also has a $750k felony arrest warrant for another incident. He claims to be a mural painter. #Seattle
STATEMENT FROM KING COUNTY PROSECUTING ATTORNEY’S OFFICE: They asked for $200K bail for both men. But judge reduced to $10K. Remain behind bars for now. Expected to be back in court Dec. 12. #Seattle
PROLIFIC TAGGER: As I left court today, I passed through Jackson St. in #Seattle's Chinatown-ID. EAGR/EAGER's handiwork is everywhere.
SO BRAZEN: Authorities say EAGR/EAGER was caught in act. This notorious vandal is part of 3A/BTM crew. MASSIVE win for @MayorofSeattle's WAR AGAINST GRAFFITI.
Earlier this summer, look what happened to @SeattlePD mobile precinct in downtown #Seattle.
EAGR/EAGER LOVES CID: This tagger hit up Chinatown-ID/Little Saigon on the regular. Nearby Central District as well. #Seattle @MayorofSeattle
This was back in May when I saw this. 👇🏽
CONSTANTLY CLEANING: @MayorofSeattle and city teams have been consistently going out and painting over tags. But keeping up with these prolific vandals remains a challenge. #Seattle
DECLARING WAR ON GRAFFITI: In October, @MayorofSeattle doubled down on WAR ON GRAFFITI. Then a massive mural along I-5 on @wsdot property went up mocking the Mayor. Unclear who's behind it. But recently, others tagged over it.#Seattle
KEEPING HIS WORD: Back in April, @MayorofSeattle held a press conference, asking for state help as well and vowing to make a difference. EAGR/EAGER'S arrest TODAY is huge first step and sends message GRAFFITI vandalism will no longer be tolerated. #Seattle
REMEMBER THIS? I confronted these graffiti vandals back in April at Cal Anderson Park. Then one of them came after me. #Seattle
DISRESPECTING OTHER ARTISTS: Last month, volunteers were trying to help rejuvenate parts of Chinatown-ID, by repainting old columns under highway. Then the EAGR/EAGER tags showed up. #Seattle

NEW: Bellevue parents better wake up. A communist group is trying to infiltrate several public high schools in WA and is now mobilizing students for a direct action against ICE officers.
None of this is student led or organic. 🧵👇🏽
According to social media posts, a group called Puget Sound Revolutionary Youth is the mastermind behind this Eastside social unrest.
These far-left activists are trying to indoctrinate the next generation with commie propaganda.
NEW: University of Washington Professor Ann Ishimaru is leading the charge against ICE raids in her Seattle neighborhood. The woke educator wants other parents to join her cause and it appears she's organizing on Signal chat groups. 🧵👇
@UW|@EROSeattle|@DHSgov
Ishimaru is getting the word out through the Hamilton International Middle School Parents Facebook page.
This Seattle public school is in the Wallingford neighborhood.
According to her post, she got activated after recent reports of ICE agents near schools.
The UW professor says there are "whistle kit parties, trainings, and plans."
NEW: Seattle Mayor-elect Katie Wilson(@wilsonformayor) has an Islam problem on her hands. Or if you ask the Muslims, she has an LGBTQ+ crisis in her city.
Egypt and Iran are blasting the so called "Pride Match" next year when the FIFA World Cup comes to Lumen Field. 🧵👇
Mehdi Taj, the president of the Iran Football Federation: “Both Egypt and we have objected, because this is an unreasonable and illogical move that essentially signals support for a particular group, and we must definitely address this point.”
Iran and Egypt argue that the Pride event contradicts their cultural and religious values. Both countries criminalize gay relationships and in Iran it is punishable by the death penalty.
In some instances, they throw homosexuals off rooftops.
NEW: The Trump administration is cracking down on Antifa criminals and going after their covert network of funders. But investigators are also being urged to scrutinize the underground subculture where militants plan, recruit, and hide in plain sight. 🧵👇
@DrKarlynB and I infiltrated the Bay Area Anarchists Book Fair over the weekend. You get more than a good read if you show up. Look at some of these panels.
#EXCLUSIVE: Embattled Plymouth Housing(@PlymouthHousing) CEO Karen Lee is doing damage control after our series of reports highlighting all the crime, chaos, and death in her Bellevue, WA facility. I have obtained an email Lee recently sent to Bellevue councilmembers.
Based on her talking points and spin, she appears to think they're gullible and stupid. @bellevuewa @BvuePD 🧵👇
PAGE 1
Lee claims some of the content about Plymouth contains misinformation or misleading characterizations. But she fails to call out specifics and also does not name the news organization or social media accounts.
PAGE 2
She then goes on to say the Plymouth model works and tries to prove her point by citing debunked studies from liberal academics. However, Lee once again fails to mention all the crime, chaos, and death associated with this model. King County's own data now shows there are now more people dying of drug overdoses behind closed doors in permanent supportive housing then on the streets.
NEW: Bellevue's Plymouth Housing/Porchlight campus continues to be a cancer on the community.
On Sunday, a non-verbal Plymouth resident allegedly made terroristic threats.
He scribbled on the wall that he would shoot staff with a pistol and held a weapon in his hand.🧵👇
Cops later determined the "weapon" was actually a lighter. They arrested him on the spot.
Witnesses say the man is Merrell James Gorham and is wheelchair bound. He is known for spitting and kicking people. He's also been trespassed at numerous area businesses. @PlymouthHousing
@PlymouthHousing This Bellevue homeless campus in the Eastgate neighborhood has turned into one of the most problematic hotspots in the city. It leads the entire city in 911 calls.
A homeless murder suspect with ties to Porchlight is still on the loose. @PorchLightCares
