‘A regime of brutality’: ICE enforcement draws fire from Jayapal, local leaders after fatal shootings in Texas and Maine

U.S. Representative Pramila Jayapal held a press conference in the Puget Sound region with immigrant-rights groups to denounce ICE enforcement practices, following fatal shootings by ICE agents in Texas and Maine. The event highlighted concerns about the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma, a private immigration facility, and called for independent investigations, health inspections, and abolishing ICE. Local organizations urged community members to sign up for constitutional observer training and support rapid response networks to monitor enforcement actions.
