WA Immigrant Solidarity Network – December 6, 2025

Posted on December 6, 2025

[Español Abajo]

We 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 building community power in their local area and around the state, 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:


We are hiring!

  • Operations Manager – WAISN is seeking an Operations Manager to lead day-to-day operations—including finance, HR, and IT—while supporting the Finance & Operations team, strengthening organizational systems, and advancing our organization’s mission through facilitating cross-team collaboration and problem-solving.
JOIN OUR TEAM

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.

Last month 66% of the calls received by the Deportation Defense Hotline were tied to time-sensitive immigration issues. 27% were detention-related and 18% involved reports of immigration enforcement activity. These calls represent some of the most pressing situations our community members face.

In addition to enforcement-related calls, 19% of all calls were accompaniment requests and 2% were Fair Fight Bond Fund requests, underscoring the range of support people seek.


One of the detention trends we saw was the increase in rapid transfers, where individuals were moved out of state shortly after detention. Families often struggled to find local support or even locate the detained person, and many individuals were transferred before having any opportunity for due process. These cases allow us to connect families with trusted organizations in the state where their loved one has been taken. In addition to providing crucial support, calls to the Hotline help us understand what communities are experiencing in real time, and this is why sharing the Hotline number remains one of the most effective ways to strengthen community safety.

Do you know what to do if ICE comes to your home or workplace? Come and learn that and more at one of our upcoming Know Your Rights Trainings:

What: Know Your Rights Training
When: Dec 17, 2025 6pm–7:30pm
Where: Zoom

Rapid Response

Rapid Response is about protecting our neighbors in real time, and centering their safety, dignity, and autonomy. Almost 1000 Rapid Response volunteers from local organizations and our communities across the state remain committed to standing in solidarity with our immigrant neighbors by showing up to verify and document immigration activity and supporting impacted families.

This month, we were joined by members of two Rapid Response teams in East King County and Spokane. They spoke about their work building community power on the ground by sharing information, strengthening connections, and expanding access to essential resources. 

Rapid Response volunteers embody WAISN’s commitment to peaceful strategies that center the dignity, autonomy, and respect of immigrants and refugees. If you would like to be part of this mutual aid movement, we invite you to join us at our next training.

What: Rapid Response Training
When: Dec 10, 2025 6pm–8pm

Community Resources and Membership

Accompaniment

The WAISN Accompaniment Network is a statewide community-led support system designed to stand with our immigrant communities during critical immigration appointments.  Our volunteers accompany community members to:

  • ICE and USCIS check-ins
  • Intensive Supervision Appearance Program (ISAP) appointments
  • Court hearings
  • Immigration hearings 

Right now, we are seeing increased enforcement, unpredictable detention decisions, and growing fear in our communities. Accompaniment is one of the most direct, human ways we can respond  through solidarity, presence, and community care.  Building strong accompaniment teams across Washington helps us ensure that families have support no matter where they live.  One of our priorities for 2026 is to grow accompaniment teams in East and Central Washington.

If you’re ready to help build an accompaniment team in East or Central Washington, we want to hear from you. Reach out so we can start organizing together!

Our general meeting is the third Thursday of every month, please join us on December 18th for the next one!

Our organizers speak Spanish and English, and we have interpretation available in nearly 300 languages.

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 o envíe un mensaje 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 1,400 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.

El mes pasado, el 66% de las llamadas recibidas por la línea de defensa contra la deportación estaban relacionadas con asuntos de inmigración urgentes. El 27% estaban relacionadas con detenciones y el 18% con reportes de actividades de inmigración. Estas llamadas representan algunas de las situaciones más urgentes a las que se enfrentan los miembros de nuestra comunidad.

Además de las llamadas relacionadas con la aplicación de la ley, el 19 % de todas las llamadas fueron solicitudes de acompañamiento y el 2 % fueron solicitudes del Fondo de Fianza Lucha Justa, lo que destaca la variedad de apoyo que las personas buscan. 

Uno de los patrones que observamos en las detenciones fue el aumento de los traslados rápidos, en los que las personas eran trasladadas fuera del estado poco después de su detención. Las familias a menudo tenían dificultades para encontrar apoyo local o incluso para localizar a la persona detenida, y muchas personas eran trasladadas antes de tener la oportunidad de un proceso justo. Estos casos nos permiten contactar a las familias con organizaciones de confianza en el estado al que han sido trasladados sus seres queridos. Además de ofrecer un apoyo crucial, las llamadas a la línea de apoyo nos ayudan a comprender lo que están viviendo las comunidades en tiempo real, y por eso compartir el número de la línea de apoyo sigue siendo una de las formas más efectivas de fortalecer la seguridad de la comunidad.

Respuesta Rápida

La respuesta rápida consiste en proteger a nuestros vecinos en tiempo real y centrarse en su seguridad, dignidad y autonomía. Casi 1,000 voluntarios de respuesta rápida de organizaciones locales y nuestras comunidades en todo el estado siguen comprometidos a solidarizarse con nuestros vecinos inmigrantes, presentándose para verificar y documentar la actividad de inmigración y apoyando a las familias impactadas.

Este mes, se unieron a nosotros miembros de dos equipos de respuesta rápida: East King County y Spokane. Hablaron sobre su trabajo para fortalecer el poder de la comunidad sobre el terreno compartiendo información, reforzando las conexiones y ampliando el acceso a recursos esenciales. 

Los voluntarios de Respuesta Rápida representan el compromiso de WAISN con estrategias pacíficas que se centran en la dignidad, la autonomía y el respeto de los inmigrantes y refugiados. Si quieres ser parte de este movimiento de apoyo mutuo, te invitamos a unirte a nuestro próximo entrenamiento.

Recursos Comunitarios y Membresía

Acompañamiento

Es un sistema de apoyo estatal liderado por la comunidad, diseñado para apoyar a nuestra comunidad de inmigrantes durante citas importantes relacionadas con inmigración. Los voluntarios acompañan a los miembros de la comunidad a:

  • Registros (o citas) de ICE y USCIS
  • Citas del Programa de Comparecencia con Supervisión Intensiva (ISAP)
  • Audiencias de inmigración
  • Audiencias judiciales

En este momento, estamos viendo un aumento en la aplicación de la ley, decisiones de detención impredecibles y cada vez más miedo en nuestras comunidades. El acompañamiento es una de las formas más directas y humanas en que podemos responder a través de la solidaridad, la presencia y el cuidado comunitario.  Crear equipos de acompañamiento fuertes en todo Washington nos ayuda a garantizar que las familias tengan apoyo sin importar dónde vivan.  Una de nuestras prioridades para 2026 es hacer crecer los equipos de acompañamiento en el este y centro de Washington.

 Si estás listo para ayudar a formar un equipo de acompañamiento en el este o centro de Washington, queremos saber de ti. ¡Comunícate con nosotros para que podamos empezar a organizarnos juntos!

 Nuestra reunión general es el tercer jueves de cada mes. ¡Únase a nosotros el 18 de diciembre para la próxima!

    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
