Breaking — Washington state Attorney General Nick Brown filed a lawsuit on Monday against Adams County for assisting ICE.
Adams County has been informing ICE when a criminal alien charged with a crime is scheduled to be released from jail so ICE can take them into federal custody.
The lawsuit accuses Adams County of violating the Keep Washington Working Act (sanctuary state statute), which prohibits jails and local law enforcement from cooperating with ICE detainers and other immigration-related matters.
On February 20, attorneys for Adams County and its sheriff notified Attorney General Brown that the county desired to assist ICE, claiming that the state's "dangerous sanctuary laws" compel them to violate federal immigration laws.
The letter was sent to the attorney general after the state of Washington notified Adams County that they would be sued for previous cooperation with ICE.
NEW: An anti-ICE group based in Los Angeles called the Community Self-Defense Coalition is training members how to interfere with ICE operations.
The group successfully disrupted two operations on Monday.
"We have patrols combing through the streets of LA looking for any ICE activity. We do this at 5:30 am because we know that's when ICE starts their operations. So, before they can go and attack our community, we are looking for them. And when we find them, we alert people with megaphones."
The Community Self-Defense Coalition said they are training anti-ICE activists in other sanctuary cities, hoping their group becomes a model across the nation.
Seattle Antifa members have advocated to bring the trainings to the Pacific Northwest.
