66. Clark County Sheriff's Office Protects ICE from Community Scrutiny & the Clark County Council's Useless Immigration Statement

Karissa discusses a recent incident involving 3 Clark County women who observed and confronted ICE agents in our community and were threatened by the Clark County Sheriff's Office for felony stalking, as well as the Clark County Council's most recent discussion about their statement on federal immigration enforcement. She then explores where we might go from here.

65. ICE and ICE Collaborators OUT of Clark County!

Karissa platforms the testimony of the people of Clark County speaking out about ICE and about the Clark County Council's complicity in allowing the FBI (who are full-blown ICE collaborators, with one quarter of the FBI assisting ICE with operations, protecting immigrant detention facilities, violating protesters' civil liberties on the ground, covering up for the crimes committed by ICE, targeting activists as domestic terrorists via the NSPM-7 directive, and more) continued use of our public conservation property, Camp Bonneville, on January 28th. We then hear the Council's discussion, some analysis, and talk next steps. Right now, we must continue to flood the Clark County Council with the reporting showing clearly that the FBI IS doing federal immigration policy. You could also share any reporting of other outrageous activities the FBI is involved in, such as its complicity in the Epstein file cover-up to protect pedophiles (redacting the names of powerful people while not redacting the names of victims, for example) the FBI's seizure of voting records from an election center in Fulton County, Georgia, anything more on the NSPM-7 directive, etc. Email: glen.yung@clark.wa.gov matt.little@clark.wa.gov You can always CC sue.marshall@clark.wa.gov and wil.fuentes@clark.wa.gov to ensure they are also getting the latest reporting on the FBI working as a blatant arm of fascism, even though they already oppose the FBI's use of Camp Bonneville. Follow Everything is Fine in SWWA on IG and FB for updates on opportunities to act on this issue and mark your calendars for February 17th at 6pm where there will be open public comment at the Clark County Council.
