WA Immigrant Solidarity Network – July 30, 2026

Posted on July 30, 2026

[Español Abajo]

Our Deportation Defense Hotline and Rapid Response Teams receive reports related to immigration enforcement activity across Washington, including sightings of immigration operations, alerts about detentions, and calls for post-detention support.

To help you stay informed, we’re sharing some information on the confirmed reports we received in June. These numbers are not just statistics. They reflect stories of family separation, surveillance, and intimidation tactics that sometimes lead to deadly consequences.


June Immigration Activity in Washington

In June, 61 reports of immigration enforcement activity came through the WAISN Deportation Defense Hotline and Rapid Response Teams.

We were able to confirm the detention of 58 people, with 21 of those detentions occurring during an immigration raid in Mason County on June 28. The heaviest confirmed activity was recorded in Mason, King, and Whatcom counties—with  particular hotspots in Shelton, Lynden, and Burien.

During the raid in Mason County on June 28, where 21 people were detained, we received reports that this event was not limited to a specific business or location. It appeared to be a coordinated, large-scale operation involving numerous agents and at least 10 vehicles moving through the town, knocking on doors of homes and targeting common gathering places.


Changes in Immigration Enforcement We’re Seeing

In April, we began seeing a shift in the tactics immigration enforcement agencies are using in Washington. Between April and June, the average number of monthly detentions confirmed by the Hotline and Rapid Response Teams was 140% higher than January-March.

During this time period, King, Whatcom, and Mason Counties each accounted for roughly a quarter of all detentions reported across the state. Given their population size, it’s clear that Whatcom and Mason counties have been disproportionately impacted.

Whatcom County has been consistently targeted, with 70 detentions reported so far this year, more than half occurring in April and May. 30% of these detentions were during traffic stops, 34% in public areas and parking lots, and 12% at or near courthouses. Local Rapid Response Teams are activating almost daily to verify and document reports and support impacted families on the ground.

Building Rapid Response capacity in every corner of the state is how we make sure no one is left without support when they need it. We want to make sure we can quickly and effectively show up for the community in moments like this, but we need your help to do it.

Join our next Rapid Response training on August 3 at 6 PM. This event is virtual, free, and bilingual in English and Spanish—other languages can be requested in the registration form or emailing language@waisn.org

LEARN MORE/SIGN UP

Around half of the detentions reported in June occurred during traffic stops or in public spaces like parking lots. Because of this, we are receiving increased reports of vehicles being left abandoned at the scene, with many families struggling to cover high towing and impound fees or being unable to recover their vehicles at all. Creating a safety plan with a power of attorney can help families be prepared. The Legal Counsel for Youth and Children has a template you can use, and they offer support with making your plan.


These reports are informed directly by our Rapid Response Teams and calls to the Hotline from everyday people who refuse to let these agencies act in the shadows. While we prioritize accuracy over speed and only share verified patterns, your contributions are what makes this community-led reporting possible.

See immigration enforcement first-hand? Text or call the WAISN Hotline at 1-844-724-3737—if we do not answer, text us the details, and we will follow up. What to include in your report >>

We all have constitutional rights regardless of immigration status. You are not alone. Please know that WAISN is here to support you. Our Rapid Response and Accompaniment Teams are ready, and our network remains alert—it was built for this moment.

In the face of threats and attacks on our collective safety, community will prevail.

In solidarity,

The Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network


[ENGLISH ABOVE]

La Línea de Defensa contra la Deportación y los Equipos de Respuesta Rápida de WAISN reciben reportes sobre las actividades de control migratorio en todo el estado de Washington, incluyendo avisos de actividades de control migratorio, alertas urgentes sobre detenciones y llamadas para solicitar apoyo tras una detención. 

Para que se mantenga informado, le compartimos algunos datos  sobre los reportes que recibimos en junio. Estos números no son solo estadísticas, sino que reflejan historias de separación familiar, vigilancia y tácticas de intimidación que a veces terminan en consecuencias mortales.


Actividad de control migratorio de junio en Washington

En junio, recibimos 61 reportes sobre actividades de control migratorio a través de la Línea Defensa contra la Deportación y de nuestros Equipos de Respuesta Rápida de WAISN. 

Pudimos confirmar la detención de 58 personas, de las cuales 21 fueron detenidas durante una redada de inmigración en el condado de Mason el 28 de junio. La actividad más intensa se registró en los condados de Mason, King y Whatcom, con puntos críticos en Shelton, Lynden y Burien.

Durante la redada en el condado de Mason el 28 de junio, en la que fueron detenidas 21 personas, nos llegaron reportes de que esta operación no se limitaba a un negocio o a un lugar específico. Parecía ser una operación coordinada a gran escala en la que participaban varios agentes y al menos 10 vehículos que rondaban el pueblo, tocando las puertas de las casas y centrándose en lugares de encuentro comunes.

Los cambios que estamos viendo en la aplicación de la ley de inmigración

En abril empezamos a notar un cambio en las tácticas que las agencias de control migratorio estaban usando en Washington. Entre abril y junio, el promedio mensual de detenciones confirmadas por la Línea de Apoyo de WAISN y los equipos de Respuesta Rápida fue un 140% más alto que entre enero y marzo.

Durante este periodo, los condados de King, Whatcom y Mason representaron aproximadamente una cuarta parte de todas las detenciones registradas en todo el estado. Teniendo en cuenta su población, queda claro que los condados de Whatcom y Mason se han visto afectados de manera desproporcionada.

El condado de Whatcom ha sido un objetivo constante de estas acciones, con 70 detenciones registradas en lo que va de año, de las cuales más de la mitad se registraron en abril y mayo. El 30% de estas detenciones se realizaron durante paradas de tráfico, el 34% en zonas públicas y estacionamientos, y el 12% en los tribunales o cerca de ellos. Los equipos locales de Respuesta Rápida se movilizan casi a diario para verificar y documentar los reportes y apoyar a las familias afectadas en el área.

Crear una capacidad de respuesta rápida en todos los rincones del estado es la forma en que nos aseguramos de que nadie se quede sin apoyo cuando lo necesite. Queremos asegurarnos de estar presentes de forma rápida y efectiva para la comunidad en momentos como este, pero necesitamos su ayuda para lograrlo.

Si puede, únase a nuestro próximo entrenamiento de Respuesta Rápida el 3 de agosto a las 6 PM.  Este evento es virtual, gratuito y bilingüe (en inglés y español); si necesita otros idiomas, puede solicitarlos en el formulario de registro o enviando un correo electrónico a language@waisn.org.

MÁS INFORMACIÓN/REGISTRO

Aproximadamente la mitad de las detenciones reportadas en junio se realizaron durante paradas de tráfico o en espacios públicos, como estacionamientos. Por eso, estamos recibiendo cada vez más reportes de vehículos abandonados en el lugar de los hechos, y muchas familias tienen dificultades para pagar los altos costos de la grúa y del depósito municipal, o ni siquiera pueden recuperar sus vehículos si no cuentan con un plan para hacerlo. Crear un plan de seguridad con un poder notarial puede ayudar a las familias a estar preparadas. El Consejo Legal para Jóvenes y Niños cuenta con una plantilla que puede usar y ofrece ayuda para crear su plan.

Estos reportes vienen directamente de nuestros Equipos de Respuesta Rápida y de las llamadas a la Línea de Apoyo que nos hacen personas que se niegan a dejar que estas agencias trabajen en secreto. Aunque le damos prioridad a la precisión por encima de la rapidez y solo compartimos los patrones verificados, sus contribuciones son las que hacen posible este sistema de reportes liderado por la comunidad.

¿Ha sido testigo de una actividad de control migratorio? Envíe un mensaje de texto o llame a la Línea de Apoyo de WAISN al 1-844-724-3737; si no contestamos, envíenos un mensaje con los detalles y nos pondremos en contacto con usted. Qué incluir en su reporte >>

Todos tenemos derechos constitucionales, independientemente de nuestro estatus migratorio. Usted no está solo. Tenga en cuenta que WAISN está aquí para apoyarle. Nuestros Equipos de Respuesta Rápida y Acompañamiento están listos y nuestra red permanece alerta: fue construida para este momento.

Ante amenazas y ataques a nuestra seguridad colectiva, la comunidad prevalecerá.Cuando informe sobre la actividad de inmigración, intente ofrecer todos los detalles y documentación que le sea posible, incluyendo:

En solidaridad,

La Red de Solidaridad de Inmigrantes en Washington

    https://www.mobilize.us/nokings/event/1050350/

    We decide who represents us. We decide what comes next.

    For more than a year, millions of people have come together to reject the idea that power belongs to kings, billionaires, or politicians who believe they are above the people and the law.

    Now, we are taking the next step, turning people power into voter power. Unlike previous No Kings actions, No Kings: Vote Early, is not purely a protest. Instead, on October 17th, it's a day of nonpartisan voter participation: we are bringing the Tri-Cities together to make a plan to vote early and ensuring every eligible voter understands their options for how to vote and has the opportunity to make their voice heard.

    Because no one person gets to decide our leaders before voters do. On October 17th, join us in local events across the country as we get out the early vote and say it loud: no thrones, no crowns, no kings.

    Now, we are taking the next step, turning people power into voter power. Unlike previous No Kings actions, No Kings: Vote Early, is not purely a protest. Instead, on October 17th, it's a day of nonpartisan voter participation: we are bringing our community together to make a plan to vote early and ensuring every eligible voter understands their options for how to vote and has the opportunity to make their voice heard.

    Because no one person gets to decide our leaders before voters do. On October 17th, join us in local events across the country as we get out the early vote and say it loud: no thrones, no crowns, no kings.
