WA Immigrant Solidarity Network – May 29, 2025

Posted on May 29, 2025

[Español Abajo]

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


We are hiring!

Digital organizer – WAISN is looking for a Digital Organizer responsible for implementing a social media strategy to educate, provide resources, and mobilize WAISN’s audiences through our social media platforms. This position reports directly to the Executive Directors and works closely with all WAISN departments.

Advocacy Organizer –  WAISN is looking for a motivated and passionate individual to fill the role of Advocacy Organizer that will support our policy work by deepening organizational partnerships and leading WAISN’s advocacy efforts to advance campaigns on our secondary and tertiary policy platform. 

Language Justice Organizer – WAISN is looking for a Language Justice Organizer responsible for the coordination and implementation of internal and external strategies of multilingual interpretation, translation, and communication in alignment with WAISN’s vision, mission, organizing principles from the frame of language, power and its many intersections.  

Read more about open positions on our website: https://waisn.org/careers

Deportation Defense Hotline

Save, share and use the WAISN Deportation Defense Hotline number—1-844-724-3737. Call the Hotline 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 hours are 6am to 6pm, Monday to Friday. If you cannot get through to an operator (or outside these hours), to report a detention or immigration activity, or to request accompaniment, send a text message to the Hotline number. We will return the call as soon as possible. Our Hotline organizers speak English and Spanish, and we offer interpretation in nearly 300 languages.

Since January 20, 2025, we have received 74 reports of detentions and 83 reports of immigration activity. But we know that this is not the whole picture, and there is more going on in Washington state. How can you help?

  • If you see immigration activity, a detention, or violations of civil and constitutional rights: call the Hotline.
  • If possible, the person seeing the activity should call the Hotline. First-hand reports give us a clearer picture of what is happening. Details are crucial!
  • If you hear or read about activity second-hand, please ask the person who saw
    the activity to call the Hotline.

Organizing Team

Everyone, including media representatives, has the First Amendment right to record officers in public places as long as their actions do not interfere with the officer’s duties or their safety or the safety of others. Officers should assume that they are being recorded at all times when on duty in a public space.

We continue to create spaces to inform people about the different resources we have available for immigrant and refugee communities — don’t miss the next WAISN trainings!

Know Your Rights – May 8th

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.

Rapid Response Training – May 29th

Join our next Rapid Response training on May 29 to learn more about existing rapid response networks that support communities, build pressure to stop detention and deportation, and ultimately keep families together.

Policy and Advocacy

In these times, it is important to keep each other informed about the realities that our communities are facing.

Standing for Democracy Conference to Resist Deportations | Conferencia de Defensa de la Democracia para Resistir las Deportaciones

Join us on Saturday, May 3rd at the Conference to Resist Deportations organized by Standing for Democracy. Hear from labor organizers, legal experts, and immigrant justice organizations, including WAISN’s Executive Director Brenda Rodriguez Lopez. Can’t make it to Seattle in person? You can join us virtually as well! Register here!

Deportation Defense

What is Accompaniment? Accompaniment is a  solidarity-based practice where trained volunteers accompany community members to:

  • ICE Check-ins
  • Immigration Court Hearings
  • USCIS Appointments
  • State Court Hearings
  • ISAP- Ankle Bracelet Monitor Check-ins


The goal of accompaniment  is to provide companionship, moral support, and bare witness. This is a form of allyship that anyone can participate in, but one where bilingual folks are especially helpful! To request accompaniment, call the WAISN Deportation Defense Hotline 1-844-724-3737. If you can’t reach us, send a text message stating that you need accompaniment and an operator will contact you.

We are excited to share that over 100 new volunteers have completed training and will be joining the Accompaniment Volunteer Program! This means:

  • More trained volunteers ready to support impacted community members.
  • Increased capacity to provide solidarity during ICE check-ins, immigration court, and other critical moments.
  • A stronger network of allies committed to standing with our community.

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 support immigrant justice and receive support from the entire WAISN network. Join Us Today!

Mark your calendar – Join the WAISN and the BIPOC ED Coalition for an evening of connection and community on May 9 at 5:00 pm in Tri-Cities (location details will be provided upon confirmation of your participation). Registration here.


Our general meeting is the third Thursday of every month, please join us on May 15  for the next one!

Habla Israel González, Organizador de Respuesta Rápida de WAISN, y quiero agradecerle su asistencia a nuestra Reunión General de abril. 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 las formas en que puede participar:


¡Estamos contratando!

Organizador/a Digital – WAISN está buscando un/a Organizador/a Digital responsable de implementar una estrategia de medios sociales para educar, proveer recursos y movilizar a las audiencias de WAISN a través de nuestras plataformas de medios sociales. Este puesto reporta directamente a las Directoras Ejecutivas y trabaja en colaboración con todos los departamentos de WAISN.

Organizador/a de Abogacía –  WAISN está buscando a una persona motivada y apasionada para ocupar la posición de Organizador/a de Abogacía que apoyará nuestro trabajo político reforzando las alianzas organizativas y liderando los esfuerzos de abogacía de WAISN para avanzar en las campañas de nuestra plataforma política secundaria y terciaria.

Organizador/a de Justicia del Lenguaje – WAISN está buscando un Organizador de Justicia del Lenguaje responsable de coordinar e implementar estrategias internas y externas de interpretación multilingüe, traducción y comunicación alineadas con la visión, misión y principios organizativos de WAISN desde un enfoque de lenguaje, poder y sus múltiples intersecciones.

Más información sobre nuestras posiciones abiertas en nuestra página web: https://waisn.org/careers

Línea de Defensa contra la Deportación

Guarde, comparta y use el número de la Línea de Defensa contra la Deportación de WAISN – 1-844-724-3737. Llame a la Línea de Apoyo para obtener más información sobre los derechos que protegen a todos los residentes de Washington, obtener apoyo para personas detenidas, denunciar actividades de inmigración, solicitar acompañamiento a lugares vulnerables y conectarse con más de 1,400 recursos comunitarios y de inmigración.

Nuestro horario es de 6 am a 6 pm, de lunes a viernes. Si no puede ponerse en contacto con un operador (o fuera de este horario), para reportar una detención o actividad de inmigración, o para solicitar acompañamiento, envíe un mensaje de texto al número de la Línea de Apoyo. Le devolveremos la llamada lo antes posible. Nuestros operadores hablan inglés y español, y ofrecemos interpretación en casi 300 idiomas.

Desde el 20 de enero de 2025, hemos recibido 74 informes de detenciones y 83 informes de actividad de inmigración. Pero sabemos que esto no es todo y que en el estado de Washington están ocurriendo más actividades. ¿Cómo puede ayudar?

  • Si ve alguna actividad de inmigración, una detención o violaciones de los derechos civiles y constitucionales: llame a la Línea de Apoyo.
  • Si es posible, la persona que vió la actividad debe llamar a la Línea de Apoyo. Los informes de primera mano nos dan una idea más clara de lo que está ocurriendo. Los detalles son importantes.
  • Si oye o lee algo sobre una actividad de segunda mano, pida a la persona que vio la actividad que llame a la línea de apoyo.

Equipo Organizador

Todos, incluidos los representantes de los medios de comunicación, tienen el derecho otorgado por la Primera Enmienda de grabar a los agentes en lugares públicos siempre y cuando no interfieran con sus obligaciones ni con su seguridad o la de los demás. Los agentes deben asumir que están siendo grabados en todo momento cuando trabajan en un espacio público.

Seguimos creando espacios para informar a las personas sobre los diferentes recursos que tenemos disponibles para las comunidades de inmigrantes y refugiados: ¡no se pierda los próximos entrenamientos de WAISN!

Conoce tus Derechos – 8 de mayo de 2025

¿Sabe qué hacer si un agente de inmigración se presenta en su hogar o lugar de trabajo? ¿Sabe qué es una orden judicial? Participe y aprenda esto y mucho más en este entrenamiento.

Entrenamiento de Respuesta Rápida – 29 de mayo de 2025

Participe en nuestro próximo entrenamiento de respuesta rápida, el 29 de mayo, para obtener más información sobre las redes de respuesta rápida existentes que apoyan a las comunidades, presionan para detener la detención y la deportación y mantienen unidas a las familias.

Política y Abogacía

En estos tiempos, es importante que nos mantengamos mutuamente informados sobre las realidades a las que se enfrentan nuestras comunidades.

¿Qué es el acompañamiento? El acompañamiento es una práctica solidaria en la que voluntarios acompañan a miembros de la comunidad para:

  • Registros de ICE
  • Audiencias en el Tribunal de Inmigración
  • Citas de USCIS
  • Audiencias en el Tribunal Estatal
  • ISAP- Registro y monitoreo de tobillera eléctrica

El objetivo del acompañamiento es ofrecer compañía, apoyo y testimonio. Esta es una forma de alianza en la que cualquiera puede participar, pero en la que las personas bilingües son muy útiles. Para solicitar acompañamiento, llame a la Línea de Defensa contra la Deportación de WAISN 1-844-724-3737. Si no puede comunicarse con nosotros, envíe un mensaje de texto indicando que necesita acompañamiento y un operador se pondrá en contacto con usted.

Nos emociona compartir que más de 100 nuevos voluntarios han completado su entrenamiento y se unirán al Programa de Voluntarios de Acompañamiento. Esto significa:

  • Más voluntarios entrenados listos para apoyar a miembros de la comunidad impactados.
  • Mayor capacidad para ofrecer solidaridad durante los registros de ICE, los tribunales de inmigración y otros momentos críticos.
  • Una red más fuerte de aliados comprometidos con nuestra comunidad.

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 de pago a nivel estatal e interseccional en el que tus superpoderes y capacidad organizativa pueden apoyar la justicia para los inmigrantes y recibir apoyo de toda la red WAISN. ¡Únase a WAISN como miembro!

Well said John Duresky for Congress! ... See MoreSee Less

Why did a federal immigration enforcement operation end with a woman dead, and why are communities still being given vague answers instead of real accountability? YESTERDAY: ICE officers were involved in an immigration enforcement operation in south Minneapolis that ended with a civilian woman fatally shot during a roadside encounter. Federal officials described the shooting as self-defense, while local leaders, witnesses, and family members disputed that account and called for an independent investigation. THIS MORNING: A community is grieving and demanding answers. Eyewitness accounts and available video raise serious questions about whether deadly force was necessary. Federal authorities have offered limited detail and no independent review. This is not a partisan question. It is a question of accountability. Public safety matters. Law enforcement matters. But when the federal government uses deadly force, it must explain, clearly, publicly, and credibly, why. In WA-04, people live in small towns. They know their neighbors. They expect government power to be exercised carefully, and that when something goes wrong, leaders do not close ranks. They tell the truth. We should never be asked to choose between public safety and civil liberties. A serious government protects both. Here is what I will do differently as your Congressman: Demand full, public investigations when federal enforcement actions result in preventable loss of life, unlawful arrests, or violence Push for independent oversight of federal agencies operating in our communities Insist that use-of-force standards are clear, constitutional, and enforced — not justified after the fact with press releases and silence Accountability is not anti-law-enforcement. ICE officers were involved in an immigration enforcement operation in south Minneapolis that ended with a civilian woman being fatally shot during a roadside encounter. Federal officials described the shooting as self-defense, while local leaders, witnesses, and family members disputed that account and called for an independent investigation. https://johnduresky4congress.com/

If you already have access VoteBuilder, there will be opportunities to follow along and practice throughout the session.
