KEEP SENDING E-MAILS AND MAKING CALLS UNTIL WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN A DATE AND TIME FOR THE HEARING – AND PLENTY OF TIME – WE CANNOT HAVE A REPEAT OF LAST YEAR, THE TRUST ACT WAS LISTED AS THE LAST BILL TO BE HEARD AND THEN “TIME RAN OUT” AND THE BILL WAS NOT HEARD!
HB1874 Addresses federal immigration policy enforcement and does the following:
*Prohibits law enforcement officers from detaining an individual on the basis of an immigration detainer unless he or she was previously convicted of a most serious offense or violent offense.
*Prohibits state or local law enforcement officers from arresting or detaining an individual based on an administrative immigration warrant.
*Prohibits law enforcement officers from making an individual available for interview by a United States immigration enforcement agent, unless the individual has signed a written consent indicating knowledge of who the interviewer is and the possible legal consequences of providing information to such an agent.
Homeland Security's program that instead of providing security has raised the level of fear for farm workers in rural WA State. Immigrant farm worker families are asking that this bill be heard in committee and allowed to move on to vote this session. There is no immigration reform in sight in WA D.C. and we must do something in WA State –
stop the gridlock in Olympia!
