WA Immigrant Solidarity Network – October 2, 2025

Posted on October 2, 2025

[Español Abajo]

This is Israel Gonzalez, WAISN’s Rapid Response Organizer, and I want to thank you for attending our General Meeting last 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 or text 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.

This month we highlight a key immigration enforcement trend: traffic stops.

In July and August, 1/3 of detentions involved traffic stops. Here are some trends we’ve noticed in these stops:

  • Many occur in the early hours of the morning (5am-9am) as people are heading to work.
  • They can happen on the road or when stopping for gas or food at places like gas stations.
  • Cars of those detained during a traffic stop are often left on the side of the road, leaving family or friends to pick them up.
  • Monitoring these vehicles could potentially be a detention strategy as people have also been detained when picking up vehicles.

We invite you to consider these questions:

  • What are some effective and creative ways you can share this information with your community: what mediums and spaces?
  • How are you seeing people adapt to this knowledge?

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

In solidarity,

Israel Gonzalez

P.S. If you witness immigration activity, raids, and detentions in Washington, please call or text the WAISN Deportation Defense Hotline at 1-844-724-3737. We have organizers available Monday through Friday from 6am to 6pm to take your call. Our team speaks Spanish and English, and we have interpretation available in nearly 300 languages.


[ENGLISH ABOVE]

Habla Israel González, Organizador de Respuesta Rápida de WAISN, y quiero agradecerle su asistencia a nuestra Reunión General de este mes. 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.

Este mes destacamos un patron clave en la aplicación de las leyes de inmigración: las paradas de tráfico.

En julio y agosto, un tercio de las detenciones fueron paradas de tráfico. Estas son algunos de los patrones que hemos observado en estas paradas:

  • Muchos ocurren temprano en la mañana (entre 5 a 9 am), cuando las personas van al trabajo.
  • Pueden pasar en la carretera o cuando se detienen para echar gasolina o comprar comida en lugares como gasolineras.
  • Los autos de las personas detenidas durante una parada de tráfico suelen quedarse abandonados en la carretera, y son sus familiares o amigos quienes deben recogerlos.
  • La vigilancia de estos vehículos podría ser una estrategia de detención, ya que también se ha detenido a personas cuando iban a recogerlos.

Le invitamos a reflexionar sobre estas preguntas:

  • ¿De qué maneras efectivas y creativas puedes compartir esta información con tu comunidad: qué medios y espacios?
  • ¿ Cómo ves que se adaptan las personas a este conocimiento?

Para mantenerse al día sobre las actividades de inmigración, síganos en las redes sociales, donde compartimos actualizaciones periódicas sobre las actividades reportadas a través de la Línea de Apoyo y verificadas por nuestros equipos de Respuesta Rápida.

    Protect the Ballot Community,

    PTB's niche in fighting for our democracy is different, and yes, more technically oriented than most voting rights groups’ work. Our focus is on protecting the vote from the moment the voter checks in at the polling place to the certification and auditing of the vote tallies. There is important work being done by many other groups to address new threats to voters' access to the polling places. We try to help pick up the essential voter protection effort beginning at check-in, and your help is needed in that essential voter protection effort!

    Given Trump’s most recent threats of controlling voting processes and seizing voting machines, we are redoubling our efforts to urge the adoption of resilient systems and processes that can withstand the coming challenge, such as audits and meaningful recount

    We have the power and are claiming it together. No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings.

    When our families are under attack and costs are pushing people to the brink, silence is not an option. We will defend ourselves and our communities against this administration’s unjust and cruel acts of violence.

    On March 28th, rise up, take to the streets, and say it loud: no thrones, no crowns, no kings. We’re not watching history happen—we’re making it. Join us
