It's Going Down

Damn, Seattle, that was intense.
A crushing crowd of thousands descended on Seattle's immigration courthouse for the second day in a row.
After Tuesday's large demonstration blocked garage exits, preventing ICE from spiriting away the kidnapping victims yesterday for hours.
Today ICE didn't arrest any immigrants leaving court bc the garages were blocked all day. Overnight Seattle redoubled the protest with a mass demonstration.

It sounds like the migrant defense was highly successful this weekend in Tukwila. Only two immigrants were believed to have been kidnapped on Saturday, wish it were zero but thankful it was not efficient for ICE.
Today ICE didn't even bother to show up for work! 🎉🎊🤗
Hundreds of migrants and many comrades showed up none the less. Migrants wanted proof they attempted to attend the surprise interviews.
The protest at Seattle's immigration court house is STILL going. Getting word that activist on the ground have been pursued by riot cops for the last few hours but so far have remained free from police custody. For some reason Seattle's police chief seems to be personally out on the front lines of the riot squad chasing about 20ish blacl bloc protesters around downtown rn.
Stopped by the courthouse today and couldn't help but notice a #pride flag(NB pride, right) was still flying above the court.
Speaking to reporters I got the scoop that activist allegedly stole the American flag on Tuesday annd burned that shit right in front of the court police and replaced 😂
Evidently the cops replaced the flag Tuesday evening so Wednesday the same thing happened and since then the cops just gave up.
Seems like queer antifa land to me for sure.

The Tukwila ICE interviews are getting tense after two migrants were detained for over an hour. One was released, but the remaining man called his family from an ICE phone saying he was being kidnapped and taken to an ICE prison.
Protesters have reportedly begun chanting for his release.
Militarized HSI and DHS cops have begun taking up positions around the ICE facility and are flying small drones to intimidate people watching this ICE operation..

#Breaking Seattle area immigrants have reported getting notifications of mandatory immigration interviews on Saturday and Sunday this week.
The problem is that there have never been weekend interviews like this so foreign residents are afraid it will be a large ICE roundup. Also, this weekend many liberals will be focusing on symbolic #NoKings protests instead of material support.
So maybe consider cop watching an ICE office instead
#Breaking At least two immigrants have been detained by ICE/DHS at their surprise mandatory interviews today near Seattle.
Confirmed reports indicate many immigrants have started showing up for the interviews. Most have been able to leave within an hour. Two people however haven't returned for more than an hour. Their families and OTG witnesses report the missing two are now in ICE custody.
#ICE#CallToAction#Seattle
Immigration court will be back in session tomorrow(Friday June 13th) for normal hours so local migrants are calling for community support inside and outside of the hearings.
General call for immigration courtroom observers at the federal immigration court at 915 2nd Ave, floors 5-8. Observers help prevent ICE kidnappings, especially if they’re there in sufficient numbers.
#courtwatch
There's a request for court watch support at KCJ 500 5th Ave today(6/12), 2pm for 2-3 people still in SPD custody.
People are not sure which court room, its mostly likely KCJ1. There are only two court rooms at KCJ.
Update - Everyone left in cop custody from last night's protests were ordered to be released from jail during the hearings today.

Allegedly the crowd parked rental bikes and scooters at inconvenient locations. On Tuesday ICE was unable to discreetly exit these garages due to the awkward pile of rental bikes.
Tonight those piles grew thicker and all of the entrances to the building were decorated with anti-ICE graffiti.
