KOMO News: Anti-ICE protests continue in Seattle after shooting deaths of 2 Americans in Minnesota

On Monday, January 26, the Washington for All Coalition, which includes JCIJ, organized a rally and training at the Federal Building in downtown Seattle, demanding that ICE leave our cities. Hundreds joined us to demonstrate against ICE and show solidarity with Minneapolis as speakers, including King County Executive Girmay Zahilay, spoke to the crowd. Supporters showed up in force to call on members of Congress to stop funding ICE and prevent them from terrorizing our cities. Thank you for taking action!

As JCIJ’S Executive Director Andrea Soroko Naar said on KOMO News the night of the rally, the “demand for accompaniment [to high stakes immigration appointments] has gone up so much” as federal immigration enforcement has increased.
