WA Immigrant Solidarity Network – July 28, 2025

Posted on July 28, 2025

[Español Abajo]

This is Israel Gonzalez, WAISN’s Rapid Response Organizer, and I want to thank you for attending our General Meeting this month! Our monthly General Meeting allows community members from across Washington to share their experiences, discuss strategies for empowering their own local communities, and give us an opportunity to involve directly affected people in our strategic decision-making processes.  

Just in case you missed it or if you had any questions, here is a brief summary of the most important points we discussed and ways you can get involved:


Deportation Defense Hotline

Save, share and use the WAISN Deportation Defense Hotline number—1-844-724-3737.

Call the Hotline 6am to 6pm, Monday to Friday to learn more about the rights that protect all Washingtonians, get support for detained persons, report immigration activity, request accompaniment to vulnerable locations, and to get connected with over 1400 immigration and community resources. Our Hotline organizers speak English and Spanish, and we offer interpretation in nearly 300 languages.

In May and June, we received reports of 140 detentions, which is more than the 131 we saw in the four months from January to April. This not only reflects an increase in enforcement activity, but the fact that we’re getting these reports from more locations across the state shows that we’re building community resilience: more people know the Hotline number and are reaching out to get support and take control of their situation.

In May, ICE began detaining people at immigration courts in Seattle and other cities. In response, volunteers — including our Rapid Response Teams and attorneys — have been showing up to build community power and share resources like the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project (NWIRP) Advisory on Immigration Court and Case Dismissals.

To keep up to date on immigration enforcement activity, follow us on social media, where we share regular updates about the immigration enforcement activity reported through the  Hotline and our Rapid Response Teams.


One way the Hotline helps build community resilience and support for one another is by sharing the Legal Counsel for Youth and Children Immigrant Safety Plan. It is available in multiple languages and they also offer online training.

Get your family prepared in the event of detention

Rapid Response

Support our Washingtonian community by sharing WAISN resources:

Know Your Rights with ICE Flyer – available in 11 languages

WAISN Bystander & Observer Guidelines

Rumor Control: Spread Power, Not Panic Flyer

Rapid Response Training – July 31st
Join our next Rapid Response training on July 31 to learn more about existing rapid response networks that support communities, build pressure to stop detention and deportation, and ultimately keep families together.

Know Your Rights with ICE Training – August 14th

Do you know what to do if ICE comes to your home or workplace? Do you know what a judicial warrant looks like? Come and learn that and more in this training.

Deportation Defense

Accompaniment is the act of showing up in solidarity with community members who are navigating immigration court, ICE check-ins, or other intimidating appointments. It means being physically present to provide emotional support, reduce isolation, and bear witness to the process.

Our goal is to make sure no one has to face these systems alone. Accompaniment is not legal representation—it’s community care and collective defense.

How Do Accompaniment Volunteer Teams Support?

  • Immigration Appointments and hearings support – Offering accompaniment to immigration hearings to ensure no one has to face these daunting situations alone.
  • Transportation Support – Helping to overcome transportation barriers by coordinating rides, public transit assistance, or gas support for legal appointments.
  • Companionship and moral support – The journey of immigration and asylum can be incredibly isolating and emotionally taxing. Our program emphasizes the importance of human connection and emotional well-being by matching volunteers with individuals to offer regular companionship, conversation, and emotional support.
  • Document and advocacy – Navigating complex legal documents and advocating for one’s rights can be overwhelming. We provide vital support in these areas. 
Now is the time to show up. Stand in solidarity. Offer support. Bear witness. Join us today! Contact Yahaira at yahaira.padilla@waisn.org to schedule a training to become an Accompaniment Volunteer.

Community Resources and Membership

If you are part of an organization fighting for immigrant justice, we want to invite you to join WAISN as an official organizational member! WAISN Organizational Membership is a statewide and intersectional paid membership model where your organizational superpowers and capacity can both contribute to immigrant justice and benefit from the collective power of the entire WAISN network. Join us today!

In solidarity,

Israel Gonzalez

P.S. If you witness immigration activity, raids and detentions in Washington, please call the WAISN Deportation Defense Hotline at 1-844-724-3737. We have operators available Monday through Friday from 6am to 6pm to take your call.

Habla Israel González, Organizador de Respuesta Rápida de WAISN, y quiero agradecerle su asistencia a nuestra Reunión General de julio. Nuestra Reunión General mensual permite a los miembros de la comunidad de todo Washington compartir sus experiencias, discutir estrategias para empoderar a sus comunidades locales, y nos da la oportunidad de involucrar a las personas directamente impactadas en nuestros procesos de toma de decisiones estratégicas.  

Por si no pudo asistir o si tiene alguna pregunta, aquí tiene un breve resumen de los puntos más importantes que discutimos y formas en las que puede involucrarse:


Línea de Defensa contra la Deportación

Guarde, comparta y utilice el número de la Línea de Defensa contra la Deportación de WAISN – 1-844-724-3737.


Llame a la Línea de Apoyo de 6 am a 6 pm, de lunes a viernes, para obtener más información sobre los derechos que protegen a todos los residentes de Washington, obtener apoyo para las personas detenidas, reportar actividades de inmigración, solicitar acompañamiento a lugares vulnerables y para conectarse con más de 1400 recursos comunitarios y de inmigración. Nuestros organizadores de la Línea de Apoyo hablan inglés y español, y contamos con servicios de interpretación en casi 300 idiomas.

En mayo y junio, recibimos reportes de 140 detenciones, lo cual supera las 131 que vimos en los cuatro meses de enero a abril. Esto no solo refleja un aumento en la actividad de inmigración, pero el hecho de que estamos recibiendo estos reportes demás lugares del estado muestra que estamos creando resistencia en la comunidad: más personas conocen el número de la línea y están buscando apoyo y tomando control de su situación.

En mayo, ICE comenzó a detener a personas en las cortes de inmigración de Seattle y otras ciudades. En respuesta, voluntarios —incluidos nuestros equipos de respuesta rápida y abogados— han estado asistiendo para fortalecer la comunidad y compartir recursos como el Asesoramiento para la Corte de Inmigración y Desestimaciones de Casos del Proyecto de Derechos para Inmigrantes del Noroeste (NWIRP, por sus siglas en inglés).

Para mantenerse al día sobre las actividades de inmigración, síganos en las redes sociales, donde compartimos actualizaciones frecuentes sobre las actividades de inmigración reportadas en la  Línea de Apoyo y por nuestros equipos de respuesta rápida.

Una de las formas en que la Línea de Apoyo ayuda a reforzar la resiliencia de la comunidad y el apoyo mutuo es compartiendo el Plan de Seguridad para Jóvenes y Niños Inmigrantes de Abogad@s para Jóvenes y Niños (LCYC, por sus siglas en inglés). Está disponible en varios idiomas y también ofrecen entrenamiento en línea.

Prepare a su familia en caso de una detención

Recursos comunitarios

Apoye a nuestra comunidad de Washington compartiendo los recursos de WAISN:

Conozca sus Derechos en 16 idiomas

Guía para Testigos y Observadores

Control de Rumores: Comparte poder, no miedo

Entrenamiento de Respuesta Rápida – 31 de julio

Únase a nuestro próximo entrenamiento de Respuesta Rápida el 31 de julio para aprender más sobre las redes de respuesta rápida existentes que apoyan a las comunidades, ejercen presión para detener las detenciones y deportaciones y mantienen a las familias unidas.

Entrenamiento de Conozca sus Derechos con Inmigración – 14 de agosto

Sabe qué hacer si agentes de inmigración llegan a su casa o lugar de trabajo? ¿Sabe cómo es una orden judicial? Participe en este entrenamiento y aprenda eso y mucho más.

Defensa contra la Deportación

El acompañamiento es el acto de mostrar solidaridad con los miembros de la comunidad que se enfrentan a procesos judiciales de inmigración, citas con ICE u otras citas que pueden ser intimidantes. Significa estar físicamente presente para ofrecer apoyo emocional, reducir el aislamiento y ser testigo del proceso.

Nuestro objetivo es asegurarnos de que nadie tenga que enfrentarse a estos sistemas solo. El acompañamiento no es representación legal, es cuidado comunitario y defensa colectiva.

¿Cómo apoyan los equipos de voluntarios de acompañamiento?

  • Apoyo para citas y audiencias de inmigración: ofrecemos acompañamiento a las audiencias de inmigración para garantizar que nadie tenga que enfrentarse solo a estas situaciones tan difíciles.
  • Apoyo con el transporte: ayudamos a superar las barreras de transporte coordinando viajes, asistencia con el transporte público o apoyo con la gasolina para citas legales.
  • Acompañamiento y apoyo moral: el proceso de inmigración y asilo puede ser muy solitario y emocionalmente agotador. Nuestro programa hace énfasis en la importancia de las conexiones humanas y el bienestar emocional a través de: Emparejar voluntarios con personas para ofrecerles compañía, conversación y apoyo emocional.
  • Documentación y abogacía: entender documentos legales complejos y abogar por los derechos propios puede resultar abrumador. Ofrecemos apoyo vital en estas áreas. 


Ahora es el momento de tomar acción, mostrar solidaridad, ofrecer apoyo y ser testigo. ¡Únete a nosotros hoy mismo! Contacta a Yahaira en yahaira.padilla@waisn.org para programar un entrenamiento para convertirte en voluntario de acompañamiento.

Recursos comunitarios y Membresía

Si formas parte de una organización que lucha por la justicia de los inmigrantes, ¡queremos invitarte a unirte a WAISN como miembro organizativo! La membresía organizativa de WAISN es un modelo de membresía estatal e interseccional de pago en el que tus superpoderes y capacidad organizativa pueden tanto apoyar la justicia para los inmigrantes como recibir apoyo de toda la red WAISN. Únase a nosotros hoy mismo!

14 de agosto | Feria de Regreso a Clases en SeaTac

Pase por el Centro Comunitario Valley Ridge el jueves 14 de agosto, de 10:00 am a 2:00 pm, para obtener mochilas, materiales escolares, refrigerios y recursos locales gratuitos para los estudiantes de SeaTac. Los suministros son limitados y estarán disponibles por orden de llegada.

16 de agosto | Festival Sounds Of Africa 3.0

    BADGER FORUM: Laliik: Sacred Mountain in Bureaucratic Quagmire

    September 1, 2026  12:00 PM - 1:30 PM
    https://badgers.clubexpress.com/content.aspx?page_id=722&club_id=392306&emtid=3209205288255

    Our iconic Rattlesnake Mountain is known as Laliik to Native Americans, for whom the mountain has been sacred for millennia.  The oft repeated and dubious local claim that it's the tallest treeless mountain neglects the true significance of its geology and ecology.  Its incorporation into the Hanford Site in 1943 initiated a complex history of federal involvement, culminating in its current and persistent off-limits status.   

    This forum will describe the mountain's history, geology, ecology, and cultural significance and seek to understand perspectives on possible futures for one of the region's treasures.

    Round Table Pizza, 3201 W Court St, Pasco, WA 99301, USA

    It's September, and time for our monthly gathering. We'll meet on September 11 at 6pm.  We are inviting candidates who have made it through the primary to come visit with us. We will also have 'Hate Has no Home Here' and 'Vote Blue' signs available.

    We are hoping that the weather will cooperate for a picnic at the farm - 4501 W Lattin Ct, West Richland, WA. If it's hot, we have plenty of shade and misters and sprinklers to take the edge off the heat. If it's cool, we have firepits and patio heaters to take the edge off the chill. We have the Pasco Round Table reserved in the event that the weather does not cooperate, and we'll make a final announcement on Wednesday the 9th. Come gather with like-minded folks and share some fellowship, food and beverages. If we are picnicking, bring a dish to share, and Tri-City Democrats will provide utensils and plates, and napkins. If we're at the pizza location, TCD will purchase an assortment of pizzas to share. You're on your own for salad bar and beverages, though there are usually pitchers of beer provided by fellow members. We'll have the donation box available for those who care to financially support the group.
